Abstract
Optoelectronic packages with one or more feed-throughs having a cutout allow optical fibers that have been coupled to a component (e.g., an optical component, an electrical component, a structural component) to be fed through more easily than a package having feed-throughs without a cutout. In one embodiment, the cut in the feed-through is on the opposite side of the initial direction of the threading. That is, if the fiber is to come from above the feed-through, the cut is placed on the bottom of the feed-through. The placement of the cut on the feed-through allows a fiber previously attached to a component to be fed through without excessive curvature of the fiber.
