Abstract:
A method for passively coupling an optical fiber to an optoelectronic chip, the method may include connecting the optical fiber to an optical cable interface of a first portion of an optical coupler; wherein the optical coupler further comprises a second portion; wherein the first portion comprises first optics that comprises a first lens array, an optical cable interface and three contact elements, each contact element has a spherical surface; and wherein the second portion comprises second optics that comprise a second lens array, and three elongated grooves; connecting the optical coupler to a substrate that supports the optoelectronic chip; and mechanically coupling the first portion to the second portion by aligning the three contact elements of the first portion with the three elongated grooves of the second portion thereby an optical axis related to a first lens array of the first portion passes through a point of intersection between longitudinal axes of the three elongated grooves, and an optical axis related to the second lens array passes through the point of intersection.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for cooling an active component of an optical transceiver, the method comprises:\n dissipating heat generated by an active component of an optical transceiver, wherein the active component is connected to an area of an upper side of a printed circuit board, wherein the heat is dissipated through (a) one or more thermal conductors that pass through the printed circuit board and thermally couple the area of the upper side to an area of a lower side of the printed circuit board; (b) at least one gapless thermally conductive path that is formed by a thermally conductive material, between the area of the lower side and between a lower portion of a housing; (c) one or more continuous thermal paths that are formed between the lower portion of the housing and an upper portion of the housing; and (d) a heat sink that is thermally coupled to the upper portion of the housing; wherein the active component is positioned within an empty space; and wherein the housing surrounds the printed circuit board.
