1. A micro integratable tunable laser assembly (m-ITLA), characterized in that the m-ITLA comprises:
an electrical interface for interfacing with a host; a tunable laser module for irradiating a laser light; a control unit, for at least controlling the tunable laser module according to information received from the host via the electrical interface; a dual-sided printed circuit board (PCB) defining first openings, wherein each of the electrical interface, the tunable laser module, and the control unit is mounted onto either side of the PCB; a first plate defining first projections; a second plate defining second projections; and a pad provided between the tunable laser module and at least a portion of the first and second plates, the pad being adaptable to be compressed, wherein the first openings are corresponding to the respective first projections and the respective second projections, wherein the PCB is adaptable to be retained between the first and second plates by the first and second projections when the first and second plates are secured to each other, wherein the pad is adaptable to hold the tunable laser module and/or to dissipate heat from the tunable laser module, and wherein the m-ITLA has a length of about 37 mm or less and a width of about 20 mm or less. |
