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: A plastic encapsulated optomodule is provided which includes a leadframe, an optoelectric component, an electric component, and an optical connection interface integrated in the capsule. The electric component is connected electrically to the leadframe. The electric component and the optoelectric component are mutually connected electrically and the optoelectric component and the integrated connection interface are connected together via at least one optical waveguide. The electric component is provided on a first part of the leadframe and electric contact surfaces (80) are provided on leads (5a and 5b) in the leadframe (1). The optoelectric component is provided on a second part of the leadframe and the optical connection interface arranged on an optodevice is connected to a third part of the leadframe. The optodevice is aligned by alignment elements provided on the leadframe and the leadframe includes alignment elements that conform with corresponding alignment elements on a plastic-encapsulation mold tool.
