Abstract:
An optical module comprising: a plurality of active optoelectronic components each one mounted on a respective printed circuit board (PCB), wherein each active optoelectronic component is associated with a respective different optical channel; a plurality of optical assemblies, each one is substantially aligned over a different respective optical channel; and a spacer separating the active optoelectronic components and PCBs from the optical assemblies, wherein the optical assemblies are attached by adhesive directly to an optical assembly-side surface of the spacer. A first active optoelectronic component is separated, by the spacer, from a first optical assembly by a first distance and a second active optoelectronic component is separated, by the spacer, from a second optical assembly by a different second distance. Also contemplated is a method for fabricating an optical module that comprises: modifying a height of one or more extensions on a spacer to adjust for at least one of a focal length or tilt of at least one optical channel.

Claim (Index 13):
A method of fabricating an optical module, the method comprising:\n providing a spacer plate including respective through-holes each of which corresponds to a respective optical channel, the spacer further including first extensions to provide respective sensor-edge features for contact with respective image sensors and second extensions to provide respective PCB-edge features for attachment to respective PCBs, the first and second extensions being present on a first side of the spacer; modifying a height of one or more of the extensions to adjust for at least one of a focal length or tilt of at least one of the optical channels; subsequently bringing respective active optoelectronic components into contact with respective ones of the sensor-edge features, and attaching respective PCBs on which the respective active optoelectronic components are mounted to respective ones of the PCB-edge features; the method further including attaching optical assemblies by adhesive directly to a second side of the spacer, the second side of the spacer being on an opposite side of the spacer from the first side.
