Package casing for fibre-coupled optoelectronic device

摘要

There is provided a casing for packaging a preassembled optical fibre-coupled optoelectronic device assembly. The casing comprises a can having an integrated snout pipe section and an opening extending from the top wall of the can to the snout pipe section for receiving an optical fibre such that the optical fibre can be fitted through the opening into the snout pipe section and so pass through the snout pipe section to the exterior of the casing with the optoelectronic device housed within the can. The opening may be sealed with a removable wall section. Alternatively, when the opening is sufficiently narrow, with solder alone.
