Printed circuit board fiberoptical transceiver in surface mount technology (SMT)

摘要

The present invention relates to an optoelectronic interconnection module for use in optical communications and comprising a substrate (10) having a main portion (15) and a foldable portion (20) formed on the substrate (10) for arranging an optically active device (25) therein. The foldable portion (20) is adapted to be folded with respect to the main portion (15) into a desired optical coupling orientation for which an optical operative axis (OA) of the optically active device (25) arranged therein is substantially aligned with an optical transmission axis (TT') that is not perpendicular to the main portion (15). An holding fixture (70) is provided for holding the foldable portion (20) in a desired optical coupling orientation with respect to the main portion (15).
