ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a package for hermetically sealing optical fibers such that they optically communicate with other optical elements/devices. First and second substrates include one or more grooves formed in a surface for retaining individual optical fibers in opposing grooves. The substrate/fiber assembly is coated with at least one layer of material to assist in providing a substantially hermetic seal between substrate/fiber assembly and a housing bonding material. This material layer(s) is/are typically selected to minimize the material differences between the substrate/fiber assembly and the housing. The housing surrounds at least a portion of the fiber/substrate assembly and may contain one or more optical elements/devices for optically communicating with optical fibers positioned in the first and second substrate grooves.
