  • Vent structures for encapsulated components on an SOI-based photonics platform
    Patent number: 9341792
    Abstract: An silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-based photonics platform is formed to including a venting structure for encapsulating the active and passive optical components formed on the SOI-based photonics platform. The venting structure is used to allow for the encapsulated components to “breathe” such that water vapor and gasses will pass through the package and not condensate on any of the encapsulated optical surfaces. The venting structure is configured to also to prevent dust, liquids and other particulate material from entering the package.
    Type: Grant
