Patent ID: 6893170

Claim:
An electro-optic module with an optical coupling efficiency, the module comprising: a cylindrical receptacle assembly having a longitudinally extending opening therethrough with an end and an opposite end; wherein the end of the receptacle assembly is capable of receiving a light guiding element in the longitudinally extending opening; an optical lens assembly positioned within the longitudinally extending opening of the receptacle assembly adjacent the opposite end and longitudinally movable from the opposite end, the optical lens assembly including a lens; an optoelectric package including an optoelectronic device affixed to the opposite end of the receptacle assembly; wherein an optical axis extends through the longitudinally extending opening from the end to the opposite end of the receptacle assembly such that the light guiding element and the optoelectronic device are in communication through the lens included in the optical lens assembly; and wherein the longitudinally module optical lens assembly is held fixedly in place against an inward periphery of the receptacle assembly such that a distance between the lens and the optoelectronic device can be adjusted to adjust the optical coupling efficiency.
