Abstract

A device for collective optical coupling between a single-mode fiber bundle and an electronic module in the optical telecommunications field which includes joining the single-mode fiber bundle to a graded-index fiber bundle and fracturing the fibers of the graded-index fiber bundle so as to produce graded-index fiber sections in order to form a lens at each end of the single-mode fibers.
