Abstract:
A compact optical transceiver module, comprising:a silicon optical bench having a laser diode subassembly and a photodetector subassembly integrated thereto, said laser diode subassembly including an optical signal transmitting laser diode, and said photodetector subassembly including an optical signal receiving photodetector; said silicon optical bench further including at least one pair of V-grooves for aligning an optical fiber to said laser diode assembly and said photodetector subassembly; a PCB circuit board for installing said silicon optical bench, said circuit board provided with a laser diode subassembly driving circuit and a photodetector subassembly driving circuit, said laser diode subassembly driving circuit applies an electrical signal to said laser diode subassembly to drive the same so that the optical signal is generated from the electric signal, and wherein said photodetector subassembly driving circuit converts the optical signal received by said photodetector into the electrical signal; and, a plastic package for sealing said PCB circuit board so that said PCB circuit board may be isolated.
