1. An optoelectronic device comprising:
- a substrate;
an optical interposer disposed on the substrate;
an electronic component disposed on the optical interposer;
an optical component disposed on or in the optical interposer in one or both of electrical and optical communication with the electronic component;
an optical fiber;
a ferrule coupled to the optical fiber;
an optical socket receiving the ferrule therein, the optical socket to align the ferrule and the optical component when the ferrule is received therein and the optical socket is mounted on the substrate, the optical socket bondable to support members having different dimensions, the optical socket and ferrule including corresponding alignment features to align the ferrule within the optical socket when received therein;
a support member disposed between the substrate and the optical socket such that the optical socket is spaced from the substrate by the support member, the support member bonded to both the substrate and the optical socket to support the optical socket on the substrate.
