ABSTRACT:
Housings for use in optical packages, optical packages, and methods to manufacture the same are disclosed. A disclosed optical assembly includes a housing having a ferrule to receive an optical fiber; a lens; an annular mechanical interface; and a total internal reflection surface disposed between the ferrule and the lens to direct light between the ferrule and the lens. The example optical package also includes an optical element coupled to the mechanical interface of the housing to form a sealed chamber. The lens is disposed within the sealed chamber substantially in optical alignment with the optical element.
