A optoelectronic package includes an inner package with a dielectric substrate having at least a first dielectric level with a photodetector (PD) die on a die attach area, first routing connecting a first contact to a first external bond pad (FEBP), and second routing connecting a second contact to a second external bond pad (SEBP). An outer package (OP) includes a ceramic substrate including a light source die on a base portion in direct line of sight with the PD including a first electrode and second electrode. A first wire bond connects the FEBP to a first terminal, a second wire bond connects the SEBP to a second terminal, a third wire bond connects the first electrode to a third terminal, and a fourth wire bond connects the second electrode to a fourth terminal.
