Abstract

A fiber coupling device comprising a mounting substrate, at least one optoelectronic and/or photonic chip and at least one first fiber coupling element for coupling an optical fiber to the fiber coupling device is disclosed. The optoelectronic and/or photonic chip has a main surface and comprises an optoelectronic and/or photonic active element couplable to a fiber end-piece of a respective optical fiber. The fiber coupling device further comprises at least one second fiber coupling element which is designed to contact and/or engage with a fiber end-piece of an optical fiber and which is mounted to the main surface of the at least one optoelectronic and/or photonic chip in a position aligned relative to the active element.
