An optical assembly (1) includes a socket (10) and an optical module (20). The socket includes a housing (11) and a number of contacts (12) received in the housing. The housing includes a bottom wall (110), side walls (111) extending upwardly form the bottom wall, and a receiving room (112) formed by the bottom and the side walls. The optical module is received in the receiving room and electrically connected with the contacts. The optical module includes a carrier (21), a lens array (22), and a waveguide (23) optically coupling with the lens array. The ferrule is used to align the waveguide with the lens array. The waveguide includes a number of reflection potions (232, 233) at an end thereof to change a transmission direction of an optical signal along a second direction with an angle relative to the first direction. |

1. An optical assembly comprising:
a socket comprising a housing and a plurality of contacts received in the housing, the housing comprising a bottom wall, a plurality of side walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall, and a receiving room formed by the bottom wall and the side walls; and an optical module received in the receiving room and electrically connected with the contacts, the optical module comprising a carrier, a lens array mounted to a bottom of the carrier, and a waveguide extending along a first direction and optically coupling with the lens array, the lens array comprising a ferrule and a plurality of lens mounted on the ferrule, the ferrule comprising a flat wall, a pair of side walls extending from the flat wall, a receiving space formed by the flat wall and the side walls, and a first post projected from the flat wall into the receiving space along an upward direction, the side walls and the first post cooperating to align the waveguide with the lens array, the waveguide comprising a plurality of reflection potions at an end thereof to change a direction of an optical signal toward a second direction angled relative to the first direction. |
