Abstract: An optical device for implementing passive alignment of parts and a method therefor, more particularly an optical device and a method therefor that utilize an alignment reference part arranged on the substrate to passively align an optical element part with a lens-optical fiber connection part. For the passive alignment of parts, connection pillars of an alignment reference part are coupled to substrate holes, one or more light-emitting elements and one or more light-receiving elements are aligned in a row in a particular interval with respect to alignment holes arranged opposite each other in the alignment reference part, a lens-optical fiber connection part is aligned with respect to the alignment holes, and an optical fiber is aligned with the optical alignment point at a surface of a prism forming a portion of the lens-optical fiber connection part.

For the passive alignment of parts, connection pillars 115b of an alignment reference part 115 are coupled to substrate holes 114, one or more light-emitting elements 111a and one or more light-receiving elements 111b are aligned in a row in a particular interval with respect to alignment holes 115a arranged opposite each other in the alignment reference part 115, a lens-optical fiber connection part 120 is aligned with respect to the alignment holes 115a, and an optical fiber 133 is aligned with the optical alignment point at a surface 122b of a prism forming a portion of the lens-optical fiber connection part 120.

Abstract: A subassembly for passive optical alignment includes a substrate, an alignment device on the substrate having a plurality of alignment holes, and an optical element aligned on the substrate with the alignment holes. A first lens device including a first lens on the alignment device aligns the first lens with the optical element to collimate light emitted from the optical element. A second lens device including a second lens collects the light from the first lens. A receptacle has a ferrule alignment hole penetrating the receptacle. A side of the receptacle is assembled on the second lens device to align the ferrule alignment hole with the second lens. The receptacle is assembled on the alignment device to align the second lens with the first lens. The ferrule alignment hole extends to a connector insertion hole formed on an opposite side of the receptacle that secures an external optical connector.
