Abstract: An arrangement of a substrate with at least one optical waveguide and with an optical coupling location for coupling in and/or coupling out an optical a radiation into and/or out of the at least one optical waveguide, and of at least one optoelectronic component which is assembled on the substrate and a method for manufacturing such an arrangement is suggested. The optical coupling location is designed in a manner such that the radiation is coupled in and/or coupled out with a coupling-in and/or coupling-out angle of greater than 2° to the perpendicular to the substrate surface. The optoelectronic component is assembled over the coupling location on the substrate in a manner tilted obliquely to the substrate surface, wherein the tilt angle to this surface corresponds to the coupling-in angle and/or coupling out-angle.

Abstract: An optical coupling system having an optical coupler and a light-transmissive external medium, the optical coupler comprising a light guide which extends parallel to a main plane of the optical coupler, a mirror surface which is inclined relative to the main plane by an angle of inclination and an outer surface of the coupler which abuts on the medium, the waveguide.
