The present invention provides a bi-direction optical assembly with two
optical transmitting channels by a small-sized package and relatively low
cost. In the bi-directional optical assembly, the first transmitting
optical subassembly (TOSA) and the receiving optical subassembly (ROSA)
are optically coupled with the optical fiber via the inner housing. While
the second transmitting optical subassembly is optically coupled with the
optical fiber via the outer housing slidable to the inner housing.
