Patent ID: 7440646

Claim:
An array optical subassembly for an array optical active component, comprising: a substrate having two opposite surfaces, wherein a lens array is formed on one surface and multiple metal pads, multiple metal lines and alignment keys are formed on the other surface; at least one optical active component deposed on the substrate, wherein the at least one optical active component has a multiple source array corresponding to the lens array of the substrate, multiple first terminals corresponding to the metal pads, and alignment keys corresponding to the alignment keys of the substrate, wherein the alignment keys of the substrate are aligned to the alignment keys of the at least one optical active component for disposing the least one optical active component on the substrate; a connecting set having a plurality of holes; a plurality guide rods being formed on the surface of the substrate having the lens array, to be inserted into the holes; a driver IC connected on the substrate, wherein the driver IC has multiple second terminals corresponding to the metal pads; a circuit board connected on the substrate, wherein the circuit board has multiple third terminals corresponding to the metal pads; and a cover covering the substrate, the at least one optical active component, the driver IC and the circuit board.
