ABSTRACT:
The specification describes a molded plastic package for a surface normal optoelectronic device. The package is designed to passively align precisely the optoelectronic device with an optical fiber. Passive alignment is achieved by forming the optoelectronic device in a pyramid shape, and forming an identical pyramid shape in a mating molded plastic cover for the device. The mating pyramid shapes serve to center the optical fiber core precisely over the active optical region of the surface normal optoelectronic device.
