Abstract (en)
[origin: WO03005090A1] The invention relates to a device for positioning an optical fibre (2) in relation to an optical component (1) having an active surface. According to the invention, light is transmitted onto the component (1) by the fibre (2) comprising a light-transmitting core and a coating surrounding the same, or is injected by the component (1) into the fibre (2). The optical fibre (2) is arranged in a rectilinear channel of a plane carrier (7) consisting of a semiconductor material and carrying the optical component (1). The channel begins on an edge (9) of the carrier (7) and ends in the course of the same on a front surface (10). The front surface (10) is embodied as a plane, light-reflecting mirror surface which extends at a sharp angle ( alpha ) in relation to the axis of the fibre (2). The optical component (1) is positioned with its active surface directly next to the mirror surface in such a way that the light which is respectively guided by the fibre (2) onto said mirror surface following reflection falls on the active surface, or that the light from the optical component (1) is injected into the core of the fibre (2).
