A transceiver module comprised of a multiplexing/demultiplexing optical
subassembly is provided. The optical subassembly includes either a
transmitter module or a receiver module or both. The transmitter module
has laser diodes emitting optical signals, which are reflected by
reflectors, and coupled together by thin film filter. The receiver module
includes thin film filters that decouple a received optical signal into
constituent components. These components are reflected by reflectors to
photo detectors by which the optical signals are converted into
electrical signals. The reflector are capable of dual axis adjustment for
adjustment of inclination thereof to effect active alignment. Further,
the transmitter module and the receiver module define positioning
recesses to position the laser diodes and photo detectors. The recesses
are sized in accordance with the wavelengths associated with the laser
diodes and photo detectors to effect passive alignment.
