Patent ID: 8102887

Claim:
An optical package comprising a laser source subassembly and a wavelength conversion device subassembly, wherein: the laser source subassembly comprises a laser base comprising a bonding interface and a laser diode comprising a laser output face; the laser diode is secured to the laser base such that a set position A of the laser output face is fixed relative to the bonding interface; the wavelength conversion device subassembly comprises a converter base comprising a complementary bonding interface and a wavelength conversion device comprising a converter input face, a converter output face, and a waveguide extending from the converter input face to the converter output face at a conversion device tilt angle; the wavelength conversion device is secured to the converter base such that a set position B of the converter input face and the tilt angle of the waveguide are fixed relative to the complementary bonding interface; the bonding interface of the laser base is bonded the complementary bonding interface of the converter base such that the laser output face is proximity-coupled to the converter input face at an interfacial spacing x that is determined from the fixed position A of the laser output face and the fixed position B of the converter input face.
