摘要

An optical package particularly suited for use with a pair of optical devices is disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, the package may house an optical transmitting device and an optical receiving device such that the package forms a transceiver. The package advantageously utilizes a number of molded plastic piece parts to reduce the package cost and simplify construction. By utilizing molded components, optical alignment within the package is automatically achieved.
