The invention relates to an optoelectronic device (10) with a coaxial module which comprises a first holder (2) and a second holder (6) fastened thereto, in which holders are present an optoelectronic component (3), preferably a semiconductor diode laser (3), hermetically sealed off from the surroundings outside the module (1), and a glass fibre (7) aligned therewith, respectively. Conductors (22), for example connection pins (220) to which the component (3) is connected, project from the module (1). Such a module (1) forms a reliable and effective component-glass fibre coupling and is highly suitable for use in optical glass fibre communication systems. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a device (10). A disadvantage of such a module (1) is that it is less suitable for applications in which a flat mounting, for example on a printed circuit board, is desired. According to the invention, the device (10) also comprises a box (20) in which the module (1) is accommodated. At least one side face (21) of the box (20) is provided with at least one row of second conductors (22) which are passed therethrough in an insulated manner, while the box (20) has an opening (23) through which the glass fibre (7) projects from the box (20). The box (20) further comprises means (30, 40) by which the module (1) is fastened (30) in the box (20), and by which the first conductors (5) are electrically connected (40) to the second conductors (22). The device (10) according to the invention may be readily mounted on a printed circuit board (60) in a compact arrangement. A further advantage is that the box (20) need not be sealed off hermetically. The device is also readily manufactured by means of a method according to the invention. <IMAGE> |
