Abstract: In some implementations, an opto-electrical device includes a heatsink; a thermally conductive element disposed on a first region of a surface of the heatsink; an adaptive thickness thermally conductive pad disposed on the thermally conductive element; an integrated circuit (IC) disposed on the adaptive thickness thermally conductive pad; a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) disposed on a second region of the surface of the heatsink; an opto-electrical chip disposed on the TEC; and a substrate disposed on the IC and the opto-electrical chip, wherein the substrate is configured to electrically connect the IC and the opto-electrical chip.

Abstract: The invention relates to a folded Mach-Zehnder modulator. The modulator may comprise a beam splitter configured to split an input light beam into a plurality of light beams. The modulator may comprise a plurality of Mach-Zehnder devices configured to receive one or more of the plurality of light beams. The modulator may comprise a U-turn section configured to receive light beams from the Mach-Zehnder devices and to change the direction of the light beams by substantially 180 degrees. The modulator may comprise a polarization management section configured to combine light beams received from the U-turn section and to output a polarization multiplexed phase modulated light beam.

Abstract: There is described an optoelectronic device having a housing and a chip housed by the housing. At least a portion of the chip protrudes through an aperture in a wall of the housing. There is further provided an optoelectronic module comprising such an optoelectronic device and electronic control circuitry adapted to control the operation of the optoelectronic device.
