Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a housing for an optoelectronic device and to a method for producing such a housing. For producing a lid for the housing, an infrared-transparent material is used, into which at least one glass window is integrated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A housing for at least one electronic device, the housing including a base part, wherein the base part includes a first mounting area for the at least one electronic device, the housing further including a lid made of a material that is transparent to infrared radiation, wherein the lid made of material that is transparent to infrared radiation has at least one glass window integrated therein, wherein the lid is connected to the base part so as to hermetically seal the housing, wherein the material that is transparent to infrared radiation has an average transmittance of more than 40% across an entire wavelength range between 1.5 μm to 5 μm. 2. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass window is transparent to at least one of UV radiation and visible light. 3. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the lid made of an infrared radiation transparent material is made of silicon, aluminum oxide, in particular sapphire, or germanium. 4. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass window is made of a glass having a coefficient of mean linear thermal expansion (α) at 20 to 300° C. of 2 to 5 ppm/K. 5. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass window, at 20° C., is under a stress ranging between −100 MPa of compressive stress and +30 MPa of tensile stress. 6. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass window is made of a glass having a coefficient of mean linear thermal expansion (α) at 20 to 300° C. of 3 to 5 ppm/K and a glass transition temperature (Tg) between 300 and 600° C. 7. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass window has been integrated into the lid by fusing. 8. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first mounting area is arranged under a portion of the lid made of material that is transparent to infrared radiation and the housing further includes a second mounting area arranged under the at least one glass window. 9. The housing as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one glass window is made of borosilicate glass. 10. A housing for at least one electronic device, the housing including a base part, wherein the base part includes a mounting area for the at least one electronic device, the housing further including a lid made of a material that is transparent to infrared radiation, wherein the lid made of material that is transparent to infrared radiation has at least one glass window integrated therein, wherein the lid is connected to the base part so as to hermetically seal the housing, wherein the lid is made of an infrared radiation transparent material selected from a group consisting of silicon, aluminum oxide, sapphire, germanium, and mixtures thereof, wherein the at least one glass window is transparent to at least one of UV radiation or visible light. 11. A housing for at least one electronic device, the housing including a base part, wherein the base part includes a mounting area for the at least one electronic device, the housing further including a lid, wherein the lid has a plurality of windows integrated therein that are made of a material transparent to a first range of wavelengths of light and the lid is transparent to a second range of wavelengths of light that differs from the first range of wavelengths of light, wherein the lid is connected to the base part so as to hermetically seal the housing, wherein the lid is made of an infrared radiation transparent material selected from a group consisting of silicon, aluminum oxide, sapphire, germanium, and mixtures thereof.
