Abstract: An optical module includes a beam-tilting light source enclosure. The enclosure is coupled to a substrate that includes a light emitter connected thereto. The enclosure has a geometry such that the enclosure has a first surface configured to couple substantially flat to the substrate and a second surface tilted with respect to the first surface and configured to couple substantially flat to a component of an electronic device through which the light is to project. The enclosure is optically transmissive and covers the light source when coupled to the substrate. In this way, the enclosure may be assembled and used in the electronic device by coupling the first surface to the substrate and coupling the second surface to the component.

Abstract: A cap for an optical module includes features that aid in adhesive attachment. In some examples, the cap includes a standoff configured to initiate capillary action upon contacting adhesive on a substrate to move the cap toward the substrate and an alignment feature configured to control lateral movement of the cap with respect to the substrate as the capillary action moves the cap toward the substrate. In other examples, the cap includes a standoff configured to initiate movement of an adhesive away from a substrate via surface tension and wetting upon contacting the adhesive and an alignment feature is configured to control lateral movement of the cap with respect to the substrate as the adhesive moves away from the substrate.
