Optical module for coupling optical fibres with transmitting or receiving elements - includes laser diode and photodiode mounted on one side of transparent substrate and encapsulated in optically transparent and moisture barrier layers

摘要

A method for producing an optical module for coupling an optical fibre with one or more transmitting or receiving elements which is placed on one side of a transparent carrier, a beam path extending from the transmitting or receiving element to the opposite side of the carrier is new. An optically transparent layer is applied to surround at least the transmitting or receiving element. An optical module for coupling an optical fibre with a translucent carrier (3) and a transmitting or receiving element (13) applied to one side (5) of the carrier and having an optically transparent layer (31) surrounding at least the transmitting or receiving element is also claimed.
