Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and associated methods are described that provide an optical device with sealed optoelectronic component(s) without impacting effective optical performance of the optical device. An example optical device includes a substrate that defines a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The optical device further includes an optoelectronic component supported by the first surface of the substrate where the optoelectronic component operates with optical signals. The optical device further includes a conformal coating applied to the first surface of the substrate such that at least a portion of the conformal coating is disposed on the optoelectronic component. The conformal coating substantially seals the optoelectronic component from an external environment of the optical device without impacting effective optical performance of the optical device. A thickness of the conformal coating may be determined based upon one or more operating parameters of the optoelectronic component.
