Optical assembly

1. An optical assembly, comprising:

a carrier plate;

a light emitting element and a lens component disposed on the carrier plate; and

a securing block,

wherein

the securing block has a first surface and a light-passing portion near the first surface, the light-passing portion arranged on an optical path of an output light from the light emitting element,

the lens component comprises a lens portion and a connecting portion, the lens portion is located on the optical path, and the connecting portion has a second surface facing the first surface of the securing block,

a bottom surface of the securing block is bonded to the carrier plate, and the lens component is secured onto the carrier plate by means of bonding between the second surface of the connecting portion and the first surface of the securing block, and

a clearance space is present between the lens portion and the light-passing portion.

2. The optical assembly of claim 1 , wherein a lens surface of the lens portion protrudes from the second surface of the connecting portion, and the clearance space is a clearance recess configured on the first surface of the securing block to provide clearance for the lens portion of the lens component.

3. The optical assembly of claim 2 , wherein the clearance recess is a through groove that is on the first surface and connects two sides of the securing block.

4. The optical assembly of claim 2 , wherein the clearance recess is a through groove that is on the first surface and connects the bottom surface and a top surface of the securing block.

5. The optical assembly of claim 1 , wherein the clearance space is a recess disposed on the lens portion, the recess faces the first surface of the securing block, the lens surface of the lens portion is disposed in the recess, and the lens surface is configured in a recessed manner relative to the second surface of the connecting portion.

6. The optical assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light-passing portion is a light-passing hole or a light-passing opening; or, the securing block is a transparent securing block.

7. The optical assembly of claim 6 , wherein arranged in the light-passing hole or light-passing opening is one of the following: an optical isolator, a polarization component, a polarization light splitter component, a wave plate, or an optical filter.

8. The optical assembly of claim 1 , wherein

the connecting portion of the lens component is bonded by glue to the first surface, and a glue layer between the connecting portion of the lens component and the first surface is less than or equal to 20 μm in thickness; and

the bottom surface of the securing block is bonded by glue to the carrier plate, and a glue layer between the bottom surface of the securing block and the carrier plate is less than or equal to 20 μm.

9. The optical assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting element is a semiconductor laser,

the optical assembly further comprises an optical waveguide, an optical integrated chip, or an optical fiber, and

an optical signal transmitted from the semiconductor laser passes through the lens component before entering into the optical waveguide, optical integrated chip, or optical fiber.

10. The optical assembly of claim 9 , wherein the optical assembly further comprises a wavelength division multiplexer, a beam shaping component, an optical path adjustment component, or a combination thereof, on the optical path between the lens component and the optical waveguide or optical fiber.

11. The optical assembly of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting element is an optical waveguide or an optical fiber,

the optical assembly further comprises an optical receiver component, and

an optical signal outputted from the optical waveguide or optical fiber passes through the lens component before being received by the optical receiver component.
