Abstract
A system and method for holding optoelectronic packages may be used to secure one or more optoelectronic packages for mounting one or more components at a mounting angle (i.e., an intermediate angle between 0° and 90°). The system may include one or more fixtures configured to pivot from a non-angled position to a single fixed angled position. According to exemplary embodiments, fixtures may be configured to secure a TO can type package while one or more components, such as photodetectors, are mounted to the TO can type package, for example, by bonding. The TO can type package may be a TO can laser package including a monitor photodetector or a TO can photodetector package. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
