Abstract

An optical source comprises a base on which a light-emitting component is mounted. A fiber-carrier in the form of a slab is fastened to the base. An optical fiber mounted on the fiber-carrier has an end optically coupled to the light-emitting component. An intermediary part in the form of a narrow slab with plane surfaces is attached to the base. The fiber-carrier is spot soldered to the intermediary part using an electrical resistance soldering process.
