Abstract:
1. A method for making an optical device package comprising: a) providing at least one substrate having an upper surface, a distal end and a proximal end, the substrate having a recess and a linear groove extending between the distal end of the substrate and the recess; b) mounting an optical fiber in said groove, the optical fiber having an optical axis, said optical fiber having a top surface and being mounted in the linear groove of the substrate; c) forming at least one electrical lead on the substrate, the electrical lead extending at least from the recess to the proximal end of the substrate; and, d) fixedly mounting a frame having an opening to the upper surface of the substrate the frame having a top surface and a flat bottom surface, the frame being mounted such that the opening is positioned over at least a portion of the recess in the substrate and the bottom surface of the frame is at or above the level of the top surface of the optical fiber.
