Abstract

See full text

An optical sub-assembly cartridge for use in a multi-channel receiver optical sub-assembly (ROSA) is disclosed and includes pre-aligned demultiplexing optics. The optical sub-assembly cartridge may include a plurality of sidewalls which define a cartridge body and at least partially enclose a cavity therein. A sidewall of the cartridge body may include a sidewall opening configured to allow light to enter the cavity. A first optical filter disposed opposite the sidewall opening may receive light entering the cavity and be configured to pass unassociated channel wavelengths out of the cavity while reflecting associated channel wavelengths to a mirror disposed in the cavity. The mirror may then reflect the received channel wavelengths to a second optical filter within or external to the cavity. The second optical filter may emit a narrow spectrum of channel wavelengths to a photodiode package to convert the same to a proportional electrical signal.
