Abstract: The present invention relates to a package for a high-frequency device, in which the characteristic impedance can be matched while a gap between the casing and each terminal is maintained wide enough to avoid contact. In the package for a high-frequency device, each metallic terminal is hermetically fixed to a conductive casing and is electrically insulated from the conductive casing by glass. Each metallic terminal extends in parallel with a side wall of the conductive casing while it is separated from the side wall. Each metallic terminal is also flanked by a pair of conductive protruding portions that are formed on a side wall of the conductive casing and extend in the longitudinal direction of each metallic terminal. The conductive protruding portions are formed on either side of each metallic terminal and serve to match the characteristic impedance.

Abstract: An optical apparatus has a protecting tube made of rubber or resin, a ferrule holder in which a ferrule connected with an optical fiber cable passing through a cable inserting hole of the protecting cap is held, a lens holder fixed to the ferrule holder, a package holder fixed to the lens holder, a protecting tube in which the ferrule holder, the lens holder and the package holder are tightly set, and a flange placed on one end of the protecting tube. An optical axis of the optical fiber cable, an optical axis of a lens held in the lens holder and an optical axis of an optical semiconductor device which is packed in a device package held in the package holder agree with a common optical axis of the optical apparatus. The protecting tube is formed by rolling up a metal plate, and the protecting tube and the flange are integrally formed.
