Abstract

See full text

It is an object of the present invention to have a method for aligning the optical axis of an optical fiber with the optical axis of an opto-electronic component and for fastening the optical fiber into the resulting relative position in relation to the opto-electronic component. This method includes the following steps:

    a slot is cut into a base,an optical fiber is disposed within the slot so that it touches neither the sides nor the bottom,a solidifiable product is deposited onto the optical fiber,a limited polymerization area of the solidifiable product is defined near the opto-electronic component,one part of the solidifiable product is partially solidified so as to allow the optical fiber a limited range of movement,the optical fiber is moved so as to align its optical axis with the optical axis of the opto-electronic component,the solidifiable product is completely solidified so as to fasten the optical fiber within the slot.
