Abstract

See full text

Optical immersion of a semiconductor photodetector to a plano-convex lens is obtained with a spring arranged to urge the photodetector to abut the lens. To facilitate alignment of the detector and the lens, the spring defines, in one embodiment, a convex surface to abut a substrate that carries the detector. In another embodiment, alignment is facilitated by a ball positioned between the spring and the substrate. Optical noise is reduced by a dielectric between the detector and the lens, with the dielectric thickness less than 1/10 of any radiation wavelength of interest.
