Patent ID: 7371016

Claim:
A method for producing an optical arrangement, comprising: optically coupling an optical component with a waveguide; interposing an adjustment device having an auxiliary waveguide associated therewith between the optical component and the waveguide, the auxiliary waveguide having ends, wherein at least one of the ends is movable; moving one of the at least one movable waveguide ends, thereby establishing a predetermined optical coupling between the optical component and the waveguide; providing a carrier substrate; associating the optical component and the waveguide with the carrier substrate, wherein the carrier substrate comprises an electrical optical motherboard, an electrical optical circuit board, or a planar lightwave circuit; providing an auxiliary substrate on or within the carrier substrate; providing the adjustment device having the auxiliary waveguide on or within the auxiliary substrate; and mounting the optical component on or within the auxiliary substrate, wherein the adjustment device and the carrier substrate are mounted on a separate carrier substrate.
