ABSTRACT:
In methods and assemblies for packaging opto-electronic devices and for coupling optical fibers to the packaged devices, a housing has a cavity for receiving an opto-electronic device and an opening into the cavity. A window is placed across the opening to seal the opto-electronic device in the cavity. The window comprises a plurality of substantially parallel optical fiber sections joined side-by-side. An alignment and retention arrangement is mechanically coupled to the housing and is operable to align an optical fiber to the opto-electronic device through the window and to retain the optical fiber in that alignment. The methods and assemblies are particularly applicable to cost reduced packaging of opto-electronic devices for communications applications.
