Abstract
A semiconductor laser package including a laser chip mounted to an uppermost surface of a leadframe, and a molded structure at least partially encapsulating the laser chip. The laser chip composed of a vertical cavity surface emitting laser and an optional photodetector. The vertical cavity surface emitting laser generating an emission along a path. The molded structure including an optical element positioned a specific distance from an emission aperture of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser. The laser chip and the optical element mounted in precise z-axis alignment from the emission aperture of the vertical cavity surface emitting laser utilizing the uppermost surface of the leadframe as a dimensional reference point.
