This invention relates to a novel stack-integration package of a light
emitter and a photodetector in a high speed, full duplex optical
transceiver for fiber communications. The structure is comprised of a
photodetector chip, having an isolated micromachined cavity on the chip
surface, and a light emitter chip, stacked on the bottom surface inside
that cavity, so that a stack-integrated embodiment of light detector and
emitter capable of performing full duplex optical communication is
resulted. Said cavity surface in the photodetector is coated with
reflective metal to prevent direct optical crosstalk from the emitter to
the photodetector. Said light emitter means either LED (light emitting
diode) or LD (laser diode).The present invention is further characterized
by having a transparent encapsulation over the stack-integrated
embodiment with a specific surface contour that minimizes the Fresnel
reflection at the encapsulation-air interface and its associated
crosstalk aftereffect. Such packaging structure is particularly suitable
as a component for the purpose of single-core, full-duplex optical fiber
communications.
