Abstract

Packaging for components of an optical module. The packaging includes a flexible circuit coupled to two stiffeners. The packaging has a first sub-assembly with the first stiffener for receiving a first component. The packaging also has a second sub-assembly with the second stiffener for receiving a second component and for coupling to an external circuit. The packaging has a flexible portion with a first end for coupling to the first sub-assembly and a second end for coupling to the second sub-assembly. The flexible portion allows the first sub-assembly to be oriented with respect to the second sub-assembly to form an angle that is greater than zero degrees and less than 180 degrees.
