Abstract
The disclosure relates to encapsulated optical fiber end-coupled devices. An optical assembly may include a fiber holder and a cap with an optical component mounted to its underside. The optical component may be aligned with a fiber passing between a substrate and a second section of the fiber holder to allow optical signals to be coupled between the optical component and the fiber. Techniques for assembling the fiber holder and the cap may facilitate the formation of hermetic seals to provide a protective environment for the optical component.
