Alignment device for an optical fibre and for an optoelectronic component

Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to the field of optical components in which a fibre is aligned with respect to a laser, an LED, etc. …<??>According to the invention, the fibre (2) is solidly attached to a sleeve (6) gripped by a gripper (10) which is shaped like a "keyhole". The optical component (1) is solidly attached to a base (5) in which a slot (11) is parallel to the optical axis of the component (1). The feet (12) of the gripper (10) are inserted into the slot (11) which is provided for taking into account three degrees of freedom. When the alignment is obtained, dynamically, the parts are immobilised by laser welds (14, 15). …<??>Application to optical heads. …<IMAGE>…
