1. An optical component comprising:
a body defined by:
an optical interposer substrate defining a first surface of the body;
a passivation layer applied to the optical interposer substrate defining a second surface of the body opposite the first surface, wherein the passivation layer comprises a metallic shielding element embedded in the passivation layer configured to prevent interference between the first surface and
the second surface; and
an opening extending from the second surface to the optical interposer substrate, the opening defining an optical path through the passivation layer.
