Abstract

One surface of a semiconductor component attached to one surface of a header with an opposite surface of the component having an optical input/output positioned adjacent one end of an optical fiber. The component and optical fiber are fixedly attached with no strain by a curable gel with the header acting as a heat sink. Electrical contacts are made to the component by means of leads formed on the header and/or a conductive coating deposited on the optical fiber.
