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.
Claims10
An optoelectronic package comprising:
- a substrate having a first electrically conductive pattern on a first side and a second electrically conductive pattern on a second side, wherein the first and second electrically conductive patterns are coupled together by one or more hermetic vias;
- a first optical element mounted on a raised platform on the substrate;
- a second optical element coupled to the substrate and in optical alignment with the first optical element;
- and
- a flexure coupled to the second optical element and the substrate to maintain the optical alignment, wherein the flexure comprises:
- at least two legs;
- a bridge;
- and
- a pair of spring regions coupling the bridge to the at least two legs.
