An optical fibre 8 is aligned with an with the housing 1 of an optical device 2, component or package such as an optical transducer or sensor. The housing has a tapered surface 5 to receive a correspondingly tapered portion 7 of a ferrule 6 in which a fibre 8 is mounted. The tapered surfaces 5, 7, may for example be frusto-conical or conical. An optical device 2 may be provided in a cavity 3 which may be sealed by the mating tapered surfaces 5, 7. The optical device may also be provided on a mounting bracket 10 with flexible supports (11, fig 2) connected to the housing to accommodate thermal expansion of the housing and maintain alignment. |
