LENS STANDOFF AND PROTECTION FOR OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

An opto-electronic system includes a substrate, an opto-electronic chip mounted on the substrate, a frame, and a lens device retained in the frame. A frame mounting portion of the frame is in contact with an upper surface of the opto-electronic chip. A lens mounting portion of the frame is spaced above the frame mounting portion. A lower surface of the lens device is in contact with the lens mounting portion. The spacing of the lens mounting portion and frame mounting portion determines the spacing between the upper surface of the opto-electronic chip and the lower surface of the lens device.
