Optical sensor packages employing cloaking layers

Abstract:

An optical sensor package includes a substrate, a wall disposed upon the substrate, and a cover layer disposed on the wall. The substrate, the wall, and the cover layer at least partially define a cavity. The optical sensor package also includes a sensor disposed upon the substrate within the cavity. A cloaking layer is disposed upon to the cover layer. The cloaking layer is transmissive to at least a portion of a light spectrum and is configured to at least partially conceal the sensor. In some examples, the optical sensor package also includes a light source disposed upon the substrate within another cavity at least partially defined by the wall and the cover layer.
