Abstract:
An optical assembly for opto-electronic packages comprising:a substrate having an upper surface; an optical fibre having a longitudinal axis; an opto-electronic device which is mounted on a first portion of the substrate upper surface and which is optically coupled with said optical fibre; at least a welding platform placed on a second portion of the substrate upper surface; at least an aligning member comprising at least a surface for being affixed to the welding platform and an aligning surface; an elongated support member holding the optical fibre in optical coupling with the opto-electronic device, said elongated support member having at least an aligning surface contacting the aligning surface of the aligning member, the two aligning surfaces being shaped so as to allow relative movement of the aligning member and the elongated support member during an alignment phase, said elongated support member being affixed to the aligning member after the aligning phase, wherein the optical fibre comprises an ending portion which is secured on the underside of said elongated support member facing the upper surface of the substrate.
