Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and device for precision and passive alignment such as precision and passive alignment technology for low cost array fibre access components. A laser carrier is passively aligned to an MT-interface using alignment structures on a replicated carrier. The laser carrier is based on a self-aligned semiconductor laser, flip-chip mounted on a silicon substrate with planar polymeric waveguides.

Abstract: Optical components intended for telecommunications purposes must be manufactured and mounted with a great degree of accuracy, since a component, such as an optochip, when mounted must be coupled optically, electrically, mechanically and thermally at the same time. In order to obtain a right-angled geometry when using surface-emitting or surface-detecting components, and to obtain a reduced optical travel path and accurate fixation of an optofiber, a reflective surface (12) which slopes at an angle of 45 degrees is arranged between a light-conducting core (16) and the active surface (10) of an optochip, and the light-conducting core has been placed closer to the reflective surface by bevelling the optofiber (9) and fitting the fiber in a V-groove and accurately fixating the fiber in the groove by means of a flat cover means (20).
