Elektrooptische Koppelbaugruppe

摘要

The invention relates to a coupling assembly comprising a first carrier (1) with means of alignment (12) and several optical wave guides (4) arranged on a plane and whose face surfaces (6) on the coupling side cause beams to be deflected onto optically active surfaces (24) of a multi-channel electro optical converter (22), together with a second carrier (20) provided with other means of alignment (26) adjusted in accordance with the means of alignment (12) of the first carrier (1) and upon which the converter (22), independently from the optical wave guides (4), is precisely positioned in relation to the other means of alignment (26). The first carrier (1) is a plastic molded body . The means of alignment (12, 26) are formed by corresponding slanted surfaces (14,28) on both carriers (1,20), wherein said surfaces (14,28) extend in a dimension which is parallel to the longitudinal axes of the optical wave guides (4) and lie on planes which cut the plane of the optical wave guides (4). Said surfaces (14,28) provide a positive fit, whereby the face surfaces (6) are laterally adjusted in comparison with the optically active surfaces (24).
