Abstract
An optoelectronic device having a hermetically sealed optoelectronic component and to a method of forming the device, which may for example be an optical transmitter or receiver device for use in a fiber optic communications network. The optoelectronic device comprises a first sub-assembly and a second sub-assembly, the first sub-assembly comprising at least one optoelectronic component. The optoelectronic component is optically aligned with the at least one optical element along an optical axis to form a housing for the optoelectronic component, the sub-assemblies being joined by at least two joins across the interface including at least one non-hermetic join and separate from the non-hermetic join(s) a hermetic join that extends fully around the optical axis to seal hermitically the optoelectronic component within the housing.
