Abstract
The disclosure relates to the field of optical components in which a fiber is aligned on a laser, LED or similar device. The fiber is fixed into a sleeve clamped by a "keyhole" shaped clamp. The optical component is fixedly joined to a base in which a slot is parallel to the optical axis of the component. The clips of the clamp are introduced into the slot which is designed to give three degrees of liberty. When the alignment is obtained in dynamic operation, the parts are fixed by solders made by laser. The device can be applied to optical heads.
