Abstract

A sealed enclosing system for coupling an emitting or receiving optoelectronic device with an optical fibre. A metal cap has an optical fibre passing therethrough in a sealed manner. A bellows tube is mounted on a base and thus provides an elastic element for connecting the fibre to an optoelectronic diode mounted on the tube. The seal is completed by a welding of the cap to the base and by passing electric supply connections through the passage ways formed by glass beads.
