Optical subassembly and method of manufacturing the same

摘要

An optical subassembly 40 and method of manufacturing an optical subassembly are provided. One subassembly 40 includes a base 42, an optical emitter 44 attached to the base 42 and one or more spacers 54 attached to the base 42 surrounding at least a portion of the optical emitter 44. The optical subassembly 40 further includes a ferrule sleeve 56 attached to the base 42 with the optical emitter 44 and one or more spacers 54 within the ferrule sleeve 56, wherein the ferrule sleeve 56 is configured to receive an optical fiber therein. The optical subassembly 40 also includes one or more reinforcement members 60 attached to the base 42 adjacent the ferrule sleeve 56 and configured to provide support to the ferrule sleeve 56.
