ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic transceiver incorporating a lens array with an integrated mirror and method of creating the same is disclosed. The transceiver includes the lens array and transceiver housing used to convert optical signals to electrical signals. The lens array includes a fiber side that can be connected to a fiber optic connector. The lens array also has a device side that can be connected to a photodetector. The lens array also includes a mirror that is positioned to transmit an optical signal received from the fiber side to the device side. Both the fiber side and the device include lenses used to provide focused transmission of optical signals. Accordingly, optical signals can be transmitted from a fiber optic connector to a photodetector in a compact and efficient manner at high bandwidths.
