Abstract

The invention relates to a transmitter-receiver assembly by means of which light signals can be transformed into electric signals (receiver mode), or electric signals into light signals (transmitter mode). Said assembly comprises a component (10) comprising positioning configurations (16), an optical waveguide (17), a first mirror (14) and a second mirror (15), the two mirrors (14, 15) lying in prolongation of the optical waveguide (17), and the second mirror (15), as seen from the optical waveguide (17), lying behind the first mirror (14), as well as to a component (20) having adjustment configurations (23), an optical transmitter (29) and an optical receiver (25), the transmitter (29) and the receiver (25) being arranged next to one another.
