Abstract
An optoelectronic transducer includes a fiber carrier having a groove formed in a major side with an optical fiber mounted in the groove and a reflecting surface positioned adjacent one end of the groove so as to direct light in-to/out-of the optical fiber. A photonic device carrier having a photonic device fixedly mounted on a major side. Mounting pads positioned on the major sides of the carriers are affixed together so that the photonic device is optically aligned with the reflecting surface and light traveling in-to/out-of the optical fiber is directed out-of/in-to the photonic device. The carriers are formed of materials with similar thermal coefficients of expansion, such as silicon and ceramic.
