COUPLING LOCATION FOR AN OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE, ELECTROOPTICAL TRANSDUCER COMPONENT AND USE OF AN OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE FOR THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a coupling location (11) which can for example be used to couple light (31) emitted by a diode (21) into an optical waveguide (15). According to the invention, the light-emitting diode (21) is aligned at stop surfaces (22) in such a manner that the coupling of light is facilitated with high precision along an axis of transmission (30). The optical fibers (33) in the optical waveguide (15) are advantageously coaxially disposed around a core (34) that is impervious to light so that said core is illuminated with comparable light intensity taking into consideration the light intensity distribution (31) of the light-emitting diode (21) which is configured as a Gaussian emitter.
