Abstract
An assembly is described that consists of a gallium arsenide die chip and a fiber optic coupler bonded together about their respective mating surfaces. The chip includes laser light emitters. The fiber optic coupler has fiber optic light transmitters that require precise alignment with the laser light emitters of the chip about their mating surfaces. After alignment of the emitting/receiving and transmitting elements, the mating surfaces of the chip and coupler are bonded together.
