Abstract

An opto-electronic coupling head ensuring the accurate positioning, in an hermetic device, of the endmost face of an optical fiber and of the active face of an opto-electronic component. With the fiber secured in the axial bore of a fiber-holder, a system of wedges provides a bearing plane for the support of an opto-electronic component. A plate serves as a base for a cover provided with sealed through-leads for the electrical connection of the component, and mechanically independent of the component and of the fiber.
