Abstract
The optoelectronic coupling element is adjustable, during production, with regard to an optimal light path. A coupling part has a coupling device for coupling light out of a light path into at least one light guide element and/or for coupling light out of the at least one light guide element into the light path. A component carrier has one or more optical semiconductors. A first and a second optical deflector are sandwiched between the coupling part and the component carrier. The two optical deflectors, which are disposed parallel to one another, form a light path between the coupling device and the optical semiconductor(s). The light path is optimized by moving the second optical deflector relative to the first, parallel-mounted, optical deflector and by thereby minimizing a loss in conducting the light through. Then the elements are fixed relative to one another.
