Claim:
1. An optoelectronic device package, comprising: a lid die; and an active die that is sealed or sealable to the lid die and in which one or more optical waveguides are integrally defined; wherein: one or more active device regions are included in the active die, an active device region being defined as an etched cavity into which an optoelectronic device can be placed or an optoelectronic device integrally formed in the active die; at least one said optical waveguide terminates at an active device region such that an optoelectronic device situated at the active device region can optically couple to the waveguide for routing an optical signal within the device package; at least one slot, conformed to receive an inserted element, is defined in a peripheral part of the active die; at least one said integral optical waveguide terminates at and is aligned with a said slot such that an optical fiber or optoelectronic device inserted in the slot can optically couple to the waveguide for routing an optical signal into and/or out of the device package; and at least one optoelectronic device is integrally formed in the active die.
