ABSTRACT:
Methods for assembly of optical transceivers. In one example, the method is performed in connection with an optical transceiver that includes a transmitter optical subassembly and a receiver optical subassembly, as well as structure that defines a pair of ports with which the transmitter optical subassembly and receiver optical subassembly, respectively, are to be aligned. This example of the method involves positioning the transmitter optical subassembly and the receiver optical subassembly in a desired position relative to each other. The transmitter optical subassembly and the receiver optical subassembly are then fixed in the desired position. Next, the transmitter optical subassembly is aligned with one of the ports, and the receiver optical subassembly is aligned with the other port. The alignment of both the transmitter optical subassembly and the receiver optical subassembly with their respective ports is performed in a single operation.
