Silicon optical bench-based optical sub-assembly and optical transceiver using the same

摘要

The silicon optical bench-based optical sub-assembly of the present invention includes an optical fiber ferrule, a silicon optical bench-based optical device, a support and an optical adaptor. The silicon optical bench-based optical device is provided with an optical device chip for converting optical signals into electrical signals and vice versa, and a groove for placing the optical fiber of the optical fiber ferrule so that the optical fiber can be optically coupled to the optical device chip. The support is provided with concave mounts for mounting the ferrule and the silicon optical bench-based optical device thereon. The optical adaptor is connected to the support, and is configured to secure an external optical fiber so that the external optical fiber can be optically coupled to the optical fiber of the optical fiber ferrule.
