1. A device, comprising:
a header disk having a radial face and an internal face with a circumference;
a header post that is thermally conductive, the header post having:
a connecting face contacting the internal face and connected coterminously with the circumference;
a bonding face opposite to the connecting face;
an arced face sharing a radius with the radial face of the header disk and at least partially orbiting the bonding face;
a mounting face perpendicular to the connecting and the bonding face;
a lens holder, wherein the lens holder is an annular cylinder that has a first end surface, a second end surface opposite the first end surface, an inner surface, and an outer surface, wherein the inner and outer surfaces extend between and connect the first and second end surfaces, and the inner surface defines an interior of the lens holder in which a lens is received, and wherein at least a portion of the first end surface is bonded to the bonding face of the header post and the outer surface is radially offset from the arced face of the header post; and
an optical subassembly connected to the mounting face and optically aligned with the lens of the lens holder.
