1. An optical device comprising:
a substrate defining:
a first surface; and
a second surface opposite the first surface;
an optoelectronic component supported by the first surface of the substrate, the optoelectronic component configured for operation with optical signals conveying data; and
a conformal coating applied to the first surface of the substrate and disposed on the optoelectronic component,
wherein the conformal coating is configured to substantially seal the optoelectronic component from an external environment of the optical device without impacting effective optical performance of the optical device,
wherein a thickness of the conformal coating is determined based upon one or more operating parameters of the optoelectronic component.
