Abstract

Micro-optic filtering devices and the method of making the same are described. In one aspect, the invention is related to techniques of obtaining low-loss coupling optics, packaging structure and process to secure components constituting a micro-optic fiber device. To support and fix various components in a fiber optic device, tubes are used to facilitate the manufacturability of these optical devices. These tubes may be metal tubes or glass tubes.
