Abstract:
1. An optoelectronic device package, comprising: a base substrate comprising an optoelectronic device mounting region on a surface of the base substrate and a lid mounting region; an optoelectronic device bonded to the optoelectronic device mounting region; a lid mounted on the lid mounting region to form an enclosed volume between the base substrate and the lid, wherein the optoelectronic device is in the enclosed volume, and wherein the lid has an optically transmissive region suitable for transmitting light of a given wavelength along an optical path to or from the optoelectronic device, wherein at least a portion of the lid mounting region is disposed along the optical path below the surface of the base substrate to a depth below the optical path; a fiber groove in the base substrate disposed along the optical axis and external to the lid; an optical fiber segment disposed in the fiber groove; a depression disposed along the optical axis between the lid and the fiber groove; an optical element mounted in the depression for receiving the light and focusing the received light on an endface of the fiber segment; and an encapsulant over the optical element and/or the fiber segment.
