Abstract
The invention relates to a hermetic feedthrough of an optical fiber into a package for an optical module, that includes a package ferrule hermetically attached to the package or integral therewith, a fiber ferrule hermetically sealed around the optical fiber, and a compression sleeve hermetically sealed around the package ferrule. The compression sleeve is hermetically sealed to the fiber ferrule or integral therewith, and wherein a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the compression sleeve is greater than a CTE of the package ferrule so that a joint between the compression sleeve and the package ferrule is under compressive stress.
