ABSTRACT:
A method for the alignment of an optical fiber on the optical axis of a light-emitting or light-receiving semiconductor component uses only line contacts between the metal parts. With the component being fixed to a base provided with two grooves, and the fiber being provided with a sleeve, the position of the fiber is determined in polar coordinates by at least two plates which lie in grooves and form angles that are adjustable. The positions are fixed by laser soldering when the alignment is obtained. The device can be applied to optical heads.
