Patent ID: 6999644

Claim:
An electro-optic package comprising: an optoelectric module with an optical coupling efficiency, the optoelectric module comprising a receptacle assembly with an end and an opposed end; wherein the end of the receptacle assembly is capable of receiving a light guiding element; wherein the opposed end of the receptacle assembly is capable of receiving an optical lens assembly positioned therein the receptacle assembly; wherein an optoelectric package which includes an optoelectronic device is capable of being affixed to, the opposed end of the receptacle assembly; wherein an optical axis extends from the end to the opposed end of the receptacle assembly such that the light guiding element and the optoelectric device are in communication through a lens included within the optical lens assembly; and wherein the 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; an optoelectric assembly fixedly attached to the receptacle assembly, the optoelectric assembly being in optoelectrical communication with the optoelectric module; wherein the optoelectric assembly includes electronic circuitry; and wherein the electronic circuitry includes at least one electrical connection for electrical communication with external electronic circuitry.
