Abstract
Assembly allowing for connection of optical fibres with optical or optoelectronic components and process for manufacturing this assembly.According to the invention, at least one fibre support (4, 6) is formed including, for each fibre (2), a V-shaped housing. The support and the component (32) are attached to a substrate (12) with meltable elements (16, 38) and the fibre is positioned in the housing so as to vertically align the fibre with the component, horizontal alignment being obtained by the melted elements. Application is to microelectronics.
