Abstract: A method of manufacturing a prerecorded tape (9), the master taking the form of a helical pattern (13) on a cylinder (10). This cylinder (10) is rolled over a web-like intermediate carrier (1), the pattern (13) being replicated in strips (5) by a contact between the cylinder (10) and the intermediate carrier (1), which strips extend at an acute angle (.alpha.) relative to the longitudinal direction (3) of the intermediate carrier (1). The intermediate carrier (1) is cut along the strips (5) to form tapes (9).

Abstract: Optoelectronic device with a coupling between an optoelectronic component, in particular a semiconductor diode laser, and an optical glass fiber, and method of manufacturing such a device.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 fiber (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 fiber coupling and is suitable for use in optical glass fiber communication systems. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing such a device (10).
