Abstract:
The laser module system for use with an optical telecommunications apparatus has a laser module having first and second ferrules, a first harness with first optical waveguides that optically connect the first ferrule to the second ferrule, a laser assembly that generates laser light beams having different wavelengths, and a second harness with second optical waveguides that optically connect the laser assembly to the second ferrule. A third harness with third optical waveguides resides within the apparatus. An O-E adapter also resides within the apparatus. The O-E adapter receives the second and third ferrules and places the first and second optical waveguides of the first and second harnesses in optical communication with the third optical waveguides of the third harness. The laser module can be plugged into and unplugged from the receptacle.

Claim (Index 18):
A pluggable laser module for plugging into and unplugging from a receptacle of an optical telecommunications switching apparatus, comprising:\n a module housing having first and second opposite ends and an interior and sized to fit within the receptacle; a first circuit board comprising a first-end section with a first and, a second-end section with a second end, wherein the first-end section is disposed within the interior of the module housing and wherein the second-end section comprises first electrical features and extends from the second end of the module housing; a laser unit operably supported on the first-end section of the first circuit board and comprising a plurality of lasers that respectively emit laser light beams comprising a plurality of different wavelengths, and at least one multiplexer comprising an input end and an output end, with the input end optically coupled to the plurality of lasers; first optical fibers comprising first ends supported by a first ferrule at the first end of the module housing and comprising second ends supported at the second end of the module housing by a second ferrule; second optical fibers comprising first ends optically coupled to the multiplexer of the laser assembly and comprising second ends supported by the second ferrule at the second optical coupling interface; and a second circuit board comprising a first-end section with a first end, a second-end section with a second end and second electrical features, wherein modular housing is supported by the second-end section of the second circuit board.
