Abstract

A micro-optoelectromechanical system (MOEMS) package for a light modulator includes a sealed modulator package containing a light modulator sealed under a first transparent lid; a secondary, larger package containing the sealed modulator package, the secondary package comprising a seal and a second transparent lid; and an optical material disposed between the first transparent lid and the second transparent lid, where the optical material is a solid, gel or liquid. An alternatively micro-optoelectromechanical system (MOEMS) package for a light modulator includes a sealed modulator package containing a light modulator sealed under a first transparent lid; a secondary, larger package containing the sealed modulator package; and a desiccant or getter material disposed inside the secondary package with the modulator package.
