Abstract

An assembly for use in transferring optical signals from an array of surface-emitting lasers to an array of optical fibers. The laser diodes are mounted on a lead frame type structure in an arrangement which corresponds to the position of optical fibers mounted in an optical fiber ferrule. Complementary alignment means in the lead frame and optical fiber ferrule provides proper positioning of the optical fibers in relation to the laser array when assembled.
