METHOD OF PRODUCING A COVER OVER AN OPTICAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, THE COVER THUS PRODUCED AND OPTICAL INTEGRATED CIRCUIT PRODUCED WITH THIS COVER

摘要

The method proposed is intended to minimize the technical complexity required to integrate optical components into fibre-optic systems. This is done by placing an optical component (29) in a die (10) with positioning elements (13) which ensure that the optical component (29) is correctly aligned, and the optical component (29) is embedded in a curable liquid which, when solid, forms the cover (25).
