Abstract

The present invention provides a double fiber optic cross connect (OXC) package. The double package includes an input optical fiber; a substrate with a first surface and a second surface, optically coupled to the input optical fiber; a first cap optically coupled to the second surface of the substrate; a micromirror array optically coupled to the first cap; a second cap optically coupled to the micromirror array; and an output optical fiber optically coupled to the second cap. The first cap, along with a substrate populated with a micromirror array and a set of sidewalls, form at least one volume which is preferably hermetically sealed. This volume is further enclosed by the second cap with another set of sidewalls.
