Patent ID: 8634682

Claim:
A device comprising: an optoelectronic component; a carrier component comprising: an optoelectronic component die mounting surface; said optoelectronic component mounted on said optoelectronic component die mounting surface and electrically attached to at least some of a plurality of conductor contact locations disposed on said optoelectronic component mounting surface; a package mounting surface substantially inclined to said optoelectronic component mounting surface; a plurality of components for external connection disposed on said package mounting surface; said optoelectronic component electrically connected to at least some of said plurality of components for external connection by means of a plurality of conductive circuits path disposed between said optoelectronic component die mounting surface and said first package mounting surface; at least some of said plurality of components for external connection being operatively attached to at least one circuit board; and an optical component mounting fixture; an optical component mounted onto said optical component mounting fixture and being optically disposed to receive/send electromagnetic radiation from/to said optoelectronic component; and means for ameliorating effects of thermal expansion of said device and said optical component.
