Justia Patents Optical Fiber To A Nonfiber Optical Device ConnectorUS Patent for Package for an optoelectronic device Patent (Patent # 5,937,124)
Jul 9, 1997 - The Whitaker Corporation
1. A package for an optoelectronic device having a substrate having an optical fiber disposed therein and an optoelectronic device disposed thereon said optoelectronic device and said fiber passively aligned; a mounting surface on which said substrate is disposed and a cover substantially surrounding said mounting surface and said substrate, characterized in that:
said optical fiber is disposed in a ferrule, and said mounting surface is integrally formed on said ferrule.
2. A package for an optoelectronic device as recited in claim 1 wherein said cover is a substantially tubular member.
6. A package for an optoelectronic device, comprising:
a substrate having an optical fiber disposed therein and an optoelectronic device disposed thereon, said optical fiber and said optoelectronic device in optical communication with one another; a ceramic ferrule having said optical fiber disposed therein, said ceramic ferrule having at one end a flat surface on which said substrate is disposed; a plug member having electrical leads, said electrical leads integrally formed in said plug member and in electrical communication with electrical contacts on said substrate; and
a substantially tubular housing member, having a first end in which said ceramic ferrule is disposed and a second end in which said plug member is disposed.
7. A package for an optoelectronic device as recited in claim 6 wherein said substrate is a monocrystalline material having a selectively located groove for said optical fiber.
