Patent ID: 7001083

Claim:
An optoelectronic package comprising: a substrate with a first and second surface configured so that the surfaces are arranged at angles to each other; a photonic device carried by the substrate at the first surface, the photonic device having an active facet thereon; a die mounted at the second surface and electrically connected with the photonic device, the die including electronic circuitry for driving the photonic device; an optically clear cap that is molded over the photonic device to cover the active facet of the photonic device, the optically clear cap having an angled cap face; and an optical fiber having a substantially flat end face, the fiber being in optical communication with the active facet on the photonic device wherein the end face of the fiber is in mechanical contact with the a portion of the angled face portion of the optically clear cap wherein the fiber end face and the angle cap face are arranged at an angle to each other and define a desired standoff distance between the optical fiber and the active facet of the photonic device.
