Abstract: An optical module can include a beam steering portion and a first side defining an inner surface that faces the beam steering portion. The optical module can further include a second side that defines an inner surface adjacent to the inner surface of the first side. The inner surface of the second side can face the beam steering portion. The optical module can be configured to direct an initial light beam from the first side to the beam steering portion along a first direction. The optical module, and in particular the beam steering portion that can include a beam splitter, can divide the initial beam into a signal light beam and a fractional light beam.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optical coupling unit for an arrangement for sending optical signals, including a base unit, a light path formed between a light input and a light output of the base unit and configured to transmit light received via the light input to the light output, an outer light path section included in the light path, which section extends outside the base unit and into which the light transmitted along the light path emerges from the base unit via a light exit and from which the light after passing through the outer light path section enters again into the base unit via a light entry, and a light decoupling element, which is formed in the light path by means of at least one beamsplitting surface coating and configured to decouple a portion of the light transmitted along the light path. Furthermore the invention relates to an arrangement for sending optical signals and to an optical transceiver.

Abstract: An optical transmitting and/or receiving device has a semiconductor component with a first contact for connecting to a reference voltage and a second contact for obtaining or supplying a high-frequency electrical signal. There is also an electrically conducting carrier substrate with a first surface and a second surface. The semiconductor component is configured on the first surface of the carrier substrate. The second surface of the carrier substrate has a metallization that can be connected to a reference voltage applied by an electrical path through the carrier substrate to a first contacting region of the first surface of the carrier substrate. The first contact of the semiconductor component is electrically connected to the first contacting region.
