Optical coupling device

Abstract

Abstract 1. An optical coupling device having a housing, in which a hollow-cylindrical housing attachment which is provided to accommodate an end section of a light waveguide opens into a housing chamber provided to accommodate a holder for semiconductor element or another light waveguide, wherein an optically-active surface area of the semiconductor element, or the other light waveguide, which is arranged in the holder, faces towards the opening of the attachment into the side of the chamber, and the holder is oriented with a side wall which surrounds the optically-active surface area precisely parallel to this area, and the chamber is oriented with a wall thereof on the side of the opening of the attachment precisely at right angles to the axis of the attachment, and wherein the side wall of the holder and the chamber wall abut against one another and the holder is pressed against the chamber wall by means of a spring member which is arranged between a side wall of the holder, which faces away from the opening of the attachment, and a wall of the chamber which lies opposite this side wall, characterized in that the chamber (5) is provided with windows (13) adapted to permit manipulating rods (21) to be introduced into the chamber (5) in order to displace the holder (1) transversely to the axis (9) of the attachment (8) ; and that, through these windows (13), a hardening casting resin is poured into the chamber (5) in order to vix the holder (1) in its optimum position.
