Book excerpt: The missing link in a dynamically growing field--a state-of-the-artreference on optoelectronic packaging The rapidly expanding field of packaging for optoelectronic deviceschallenges electrical engineers with a host of complex and dauntingproblems. The increasing intricacy of assemblage compounds thethorny interconnection issues associated with electronicpackaging-how to assemble an array with many elements efficientlywhile maintaining thermal tolerance and simultaneously overcomingthe ensuing modulation problems that generate electrical noise.Adding to these problems has been the absence, until now, of asingle authoritative reference on the subject. Optoelectronic Packaging is the first and only comprehensivesourcebook on optoelectronic assembly techniques. Foroptoelectronic packaging experts and professionals in adjuncttechnologies, it provides an overview of today's state-of-the-arttechnologies, packages now on the drawing board, and the futuredirection of packaging types. For the novice, it lays down thefundamentals of optics and packaging. This incomparable textfeatures contributions from hands-on practitioners and,supplemented with extensive illustrations, it * Covers detector, semiconductor laser, and optical amplifierpackaging * Discusses waveguide technologies, free-space interconnects, andhybrid technologies * Examines communication system interconnection structure andfiber-optic networks in telecommunications * Explores array device packaging and flip-chip assembly for smartpixel arrays * Includes case studies of packaged subassemblies
