Abstract
The present invention relates to lensed fiber stub assemblies and optical and optoelectronic packages including them. The fiber stub assemblies include a section of lensed fiber having a lensed end having a lens face, and a distal end having an endface, a lens alignment ferrule affixed to and holding the lensed end of the lensed fiber, and a package attachment ferrule having a distal endface and an exterior surface, the package attachment ferrule affixed to and holding the distal end of the lensed fiber. The lensed fiber stub assemblies of the present invention allow for hermetic packaging of optical and optoelectronic devices, good manufacturing throughput, facile package connectorization, acceptable device thermal performance, and ease of alignment in the packaging process.
