Optoelectronic device with a support member

Optoelectronic devices with a support member and methods of manufacturing or assembling the same are provided. An example of an optoelectronic device according to the present disclosure includes a substrate and an optical component and an electronic component disposed thereon or therein. The optoelectronic device further includes a ferrule coupled to the optical fiber and an optical socket receiving the ferrule therein. The optoelectronic device includes a support member disposed between the substrate and the optical socket such that the optical socket is spaced from the substrate by the support member.

Complementary reverse order filters

In example implementations, an apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes an optical transmission component and an optical reception component. The optical transmission component includes a plurality of lasers and a transmit filter. The plurality of lasers each emit a different wavelength of light. The transmit filter includes a plurality of different regions that correspond to one of the different wavelengths of light emitted by the plurality of lasers. The optical reception component includes a plurality of photodiodes and a complementary reverse order (CRO) filter. The CRO filter includes a same plurality of different regions as the transmit filter in a reverse order.

Polarization diversity optical interface assembly

Examples herein relate to polarization diversity optical interface assemblies including a single mode optical fiber and first and second grating couplers disposed on a substrate. The first and second grating couplers are coupled to first and second waveguides, respectively. The assemblies further includes an optical connector to couple light between the single mode optical fiber and each of the first and second grating couplers. The optical connector includes a ferrule and a walk-off crystal. The ferrule is coupled to a portion of the single mode optical fiber. The walk-off crystal is configured to spatially separate the light into first and second orthogonal polarization modes prior to passing through the respective first and second grating couplers and/or combine the first and second polarization modes of the light prior to passing through the single mode optical fiber.
