ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses an optoelectronic device receptacle for connecting at least one fiber cables to optical semiconductor components and a method for manufacturing the same. The optoelectronic device receptacle comprises a receptacle alignment block subassembly and a coupling body. The receptacle alignment block subassembly comprises a first alignment block portion having at least one groove formed therein. A second alignment block portion is provided for mating with the first alignment block portion. An optical fiber is disposed in the first alignment block portion. Each optical fiber is for transmitting light through the optoelectronic interface device. Finally, an adhesive is provided to secure the first and second device portions together. The receptacle alignment block subassembly further comprises an optoelectronic device array optically aligned to the alignment block, and a method of providing electrical contact to the optoelectronic devices.
