Light transmissive substrate for an optical mems device

摘要

An optical MEMS device and a package include an optical through path for allowing light to pass from a first side of the package, through a substrate on which the optical MEMS device is mounted and through a second side of the package opposite the first side. The package can include first and second light-transmissive portions or apertures for allowing the light to pass. The optical MEMS device can be a shutter for selectively affecting the flow of light through the package. A plurality of optical MEMS devices may be located within a single package because the optical paths for the MEMS devices can be substantially parallel to each other.
