Abstract
A process of aligning electro-optical devices that associate a semiconductor, laser diode or electroluminescent component with an optical component, such as an optical fiber. These devices must be aligned with a precision of from .+-.1 to .+-.10.mu.. The semiconductor component is integral with a centering part through the intermediary of a first bracket. The optical component, through the intermediary of a second bracket, is integral with a container in which is placed a hardening material. The centering part is plunged in the hardening material, with three degrees of mobility. The alignment is dynamic. When adjustment has been made, the hardening material is rapidly and rigidly fixed.
