摘要	An optical module providing a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA), and a process to assembly the optical module are disclosed. The optical module provides front and rear coupling units each optically coupled with the SOA and fixed to the housing enclosing the SOA. The housing has a slim wall fixing a lens holder soldered to the slim wall. The front and/or rear coupling unit is fixed to the lens holder by YAG laser welding after the active alignment by using a spontaneous emission of the SOA, and amplified emission of externally provided test beam.
其他摘要	公开了一种提供半导体光放大器（SOA）的光学模块，以及组装光学模块的过程。光学模块提供前后耦合单元，每个前耦合单元与SOA光学耦合并固定到封闭SOA的外壳。外壳有一个细长的壁，固定一个焊接在细长壁上的镜头支架。在主动对准之后，通过使用SOA的自发发射和外部提供的测试光束的放大发射，前和/或后耦合单元通过YAG激光焊接固定到透镜架。
主权项	A process to assemble an optical module having an amplifier unit that installs a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) therein and a coupling unit that receive an external optical fiber optically coupled with the SOA, the process comprising steps of: activating the SOA to generate a spontaneous emission therefrom; and aligning the coupling unit with the SOA at a position where the spontaneous emission of the SOA detected through the external optical fiber becomes a maximum or exceeds a preset threshold.
