Abstract
An optical module includes a window having an interior, e.g., first, surface. The interior surface includes a central region and a peripheral region. A first electronic component is coupled to the peripheral region. The optical module further includes a substrate and an image sensor coupled to the substrate. The window is coupled to the substrate such that the image sensor is aligned with the central region of the window.
