Abstract
A bidirectional optoelectronic sub-assembly. The bidirectional optoelectronic sub-assembly includes an assembly body. The assembly body is configured to interface a light source, a photodetector, an optical waveguide, coupling optics and a beam splitter in optical alignment. The assembly body includes a light source port configured to accommodate the light source, an optical port configured to interface with an optical connector of the optical waveguide, a beam splitter slot configured to accommodate the beam splitter on a first optical path between the light source and the optical waveguide, and on a second optical path between the optical waveguide and the photodetector, and a faraday cage cavity configured to accommodate the photodetector.
