Light emitting assembly and a method of making same

摘要

A light emitting assembly comprising a light emitting device, an optical fiber and an optical coupling medium which is contacted to both a facet of the light emitting device and an end face of the fiber and whose maximum diameter is comparable to the diameter of the end face of the fiber. The invention is also a method of making this light emitting assembly which comprises positioning the end face of the optical fiber adjacent to the emitting portion of the facet, interposing an optical coupling medium between the facet and the end face of the fiber and increasing the space between the facet and the end face of the fiber until the maximum amount of light is coupled into the fiber.
