ABSTRACT:
An optoelectronic coupling is provided having an optoelectronic device such as a VCSEL attached to and aligned with a flexible substrate mounted to the end face of an optical waveguide between the optoelectronic device and the optical waveguide. The flexible substrate may provide the function of carrying components for controlling the optoelectronic device and may easily be oriented within the housing of an optoelectronic receptacle. A method of aligning the optoelectronic device with the optical fibers of the optical waveguide is provided via use of automatic alignment machinery.
