Optical transceiver with optical subassemblies optionally fixed to housing
First Claim
1. An optical transceiver, comprising:
- a receptacle member having a cavity and an opening exposed to the cavity, the cavity receiving an optical connector;
an optical subassembly having a sleeve and a package for installing a semiconductor optical device, the optical subassembly optically coupling with an optical fiber attached to the optical connector by inserting the sleeve into the opening of the receptacle member and mating with the optical connector in the cavity;
a holder for holding the receptacle member; and
a housing for installing the receptacle body, the optical subassembly and the holder therein, the housing assembling the holder in a position, wherein the position of the holder to the housing is adjustable such that the package of the optical subassembly fits to the housing.

Abstract
The present invention provides an optical transceiver with an optical subassembly optically coupling with an optical connector via a receptacle member, in which the optical subassembly is positioned to the housing of the transceiver without causing any mechanical stress. The optical subassembly is fixed to the receptacle member by inserting a sleeve thereof into an opening of the receptacle member. The receptacle member is assembled with the housing via the holder by adjusting the positional relation between the holder and the housing. Therefore, even when the subassembly is fixed to the receptacle member via the sleeve thereof, the subassembly can fit to the housing without causing any mechanical stress because the holder is interposed therebetween, which secures the heat dissipating path from the optical subassembly to the housing.
