Optoelectronic butterfly-shaped fiber optic welding tray
The 14-pin Butterfly Package is a compact industry standard housing for optoelectronic modules, with options for hermetic sealing. It provides a fiber feed-through, electrical fan-out, and built-in thermal management for photonic integrated circuits (PICs). A 2 or 3-beam vertical configuration laser microwelding cell utilizing a fiber-coupled Nd:YAG laser. Additional features include automatic alignment, device characterization, testing capabilities and sophisticated component tracking throughout the entire assembly process. We designed and fabricated butterfly (BFY) modules with an optical coupling set-up, which is well suited for small-scale production and rapid prototyping of waveguide-fed InP and GaAs OEICs like diode lasers, semiconductor amplifiers and optical modulators.
