Flexible hermetic package for optical device

摘要

An opto-electronic package having two enclosures in which a first non-hermetic enclosure provides the structural rigidity required to maintain the alignment of the optical components for a predetermined environmental range, and second flexible enclosure that provides a hermetical seal for the opto-electronic package.

主权项

1. A package for an optical component, the package comprising:
a flexible hermetic barrier membrane surrounding the optical component; at least one access port hermetically sealed in the flexible hermetic barrier membrane enabling at least one of optical or electrical coupling to the optical component; and a solid structural package surrounding the optical component; wherein the flexible hermetic barrier membrane conforms to the solid structural package, whereby a volume of the flexible hermetic barrier membrane does not change with one or more variations in external environmental air pressure.
