Abstract

A circuit module including at least one Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a plurality of Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) array modules is built using a standard ceramic or organic Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package substrate, resulting is a high density device with a small footprint. Interconnection between the electronic devices and the VCSEL array modules is accomplished using standard integrated circuit packaging technology and flexible connectors. Optical connections from the VCSEL arrays to fiber optic cables are made possible by integrating industry-standard optical connectors onto the package. Optical receiver and transceiver modules may also be incorporated into the circuit module.
