Abstract
A package for optical components and a method for making the package are disclosed. The package comprises a quasi-planar substrate having a positioning floor, a platform and an optional ring frame of precisely determined height. Optical components picked and placed on a substrate floor, a raised platform and frame. A flexure assembly allows fine positioning of components requiring critical optical alignment.
