Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an optical transmitter and/or receiver comprising an electrical signal generator configured to generate an electrical signal that is unshielded or unshieldable at a predetermined frequency, a filter downstream from the electrical signal generator configured to reduce an amplitude of electromagnetic interference (EMI) at the predetermined frequency below a predetermined maximum value, an interface through which the EMI can pass in the absence of the filter, and an optical component configured to receive the electrical signal or provide an input signal to the electrical signal generator. A method of reducing EMI in an optical transmitter and/or receiver using the electrical signal generator, the filter and the optical component is also disclosed.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an optical transmitter comprising a laser configured to generate an optical signal from a single-ended electrical signal, a housing or (sub)assembly containing the laser, a driver configured to generate the single-ended electrical signal, a direct current (DC) return path, and an alternating current (AC) return path. The laser has a DC power pin, and the DC power has a DC component and an AC component. The driver has a first impedance at a first output through which the single-ended electrical signal passes. The housing or (sub)assembly has a second impedance matching the first impedance. The DC return path comprises an inductor and is configured to carry or conduct the DC component of the DC power from the laser (e.g., to an input pin on the driver). The AC return path is configured to carry or conduct the AC component of the DC power from the laser. Methods of using and manufacturing the same are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a de-latching mechanism and optical module using the same. The de-latching mechanism includes a pull rod and a de-latching sheet or plate. The pull rod is configured to cause the de-latching sheet or plate to slide by rotating or sliding, thereby de-latch the optical module. The present invention provides a de-latching mechanism and optical module using the same with a simple structure and various convenient ways to de-latch the optical module, which can use a smaller rotational angle, simple condition(s) for de-latching and less de-latching environment support.

Abstract: A waveguide array module according to some embodiments of the present disclosure includes a lens array and a waveguide component. The lens array is configured to output a plurality of light beams of different wavelengths. The waveguide component includes a plurality of waveguide channels configured to respectively direct the plurality of light beams. Each of the waveguide channels includes an input port on a first surface facing the lens array and configured to receive a respective one of the light beams, and an output port on a second surface non-parallel to the first surface and configured to output the respective one of the light beams.
