A thermally stable small optical package is disclosed housing optically aligned elements forming an optical component. The elements are all directly soldered to a base member or directly soldered to a supporting member soldered to a common base member. The sealed container has a supporting base member of stainless steel and a first optical fiber mount is directly soldered to the supporting base. A first optical fiber is directly soldered to the upper end of the first optical fiber mount. A similar arrangement is provided wherein a second optical fiber mount is directly soldered to the base and a second optical fiber is directly soldered to the upper end of the second optical fiber mount. A frequency doubling crystal is directly soldered to the stainless steel base member after being aligned with the two optical fibers. This design is inexpensive to manufacture and provides a thermally stable component.
