Method of weldbonding and a device comprising weldbonded components

摘要

A method of assembling optoelectronic and/or photonic components, said method comprising: (i) providing at least two optoelectronic and/or photonic components; (ii) aligning and situating these components relative to one another and in close proximity with one another so as to: (a) provide optical coupling between these components; and (b) maintain the distance d between the adjacent parts of these components, where d is 0 to 100 μm; (iii) adhering these components to one another with while maintaining optical coupling therebetween; and (iv) laser welding these components together while maintaining optical coupling therebetween.

1. A method of assembling optoelectronic and/or photonic components, said method comprising:
(i) providing at least two optoelectronic and/or photonic components; (ii) aligning and situating said optoelectronic and/or photonic components relative to one another and in close proximity with one another so as to: (a) provide optical coupling between said components which is enabled by an optical path between adjacent components; and (b) maintain the distance d between the adjacent parts of said components, where 0 μm≦d≦100 μm; (iii) adhering said components to one another with adhesive by (a) applying said adhesive at a periphery of a boundary between said components and not in the optical path between components, and (b) curing or solidifying said adhesive while maintaining optical coupling therebetween; and (iv) laser welding said components together while maintaining optical coupling therebetween.
