ABSTRACT:
An aligned and spaced-apart end-on optical coupling is provided between the end of a single mode optical fiber and the emitting aperture of an edge-emitting diode mounted on a heat sink secured to a base. A V-shaped grooved semiconductor chip is mounted on the base a distance from the edge-emitting diode and a UV curable optical cement is applied in the V-shaped groove and on a lateral surface of the optical f
