Reflector CupLid – Optical Cavity Window with Al-Reflector


Surface mount Optical Reflector Window for efficent light extraction of edge-emitting Laser Diodes and LEDs in UV, Visible or Infrared


For hermetic packaging of laser diodes and LEDs Materion Balzers Optics has developed Reflector CupLids , a space-saving surface-mount photonic package with integrated mirrors on 45° -angled side-walls. Reflector CupLids form a fine-leak hermetic package by solder bonding a window cavity onto a flat ceramic submount (alumina or AlN ) under vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. Reflector CupLids are available with different anti-reflective coatings in UV, Visible or Near Infrared and can be shipped fully-furnished with tack-welded solder preforms for easy handling and assembly. For prototyping we provide several reference designs of AlN submounts for either wirebond or flipchip die-attach.
