Abstract

The optoelectronic receiver includes a device (12) for taking in or collecting optical signals, an optical sensor (16) for converting the optical signals into electronic signals; a coupling element (26) for alignment of the optic axis of the device for taking in or collecting the optical signals on a sensitive surface of the optical sensor, a holder (42) for the device (12) for taking in the optical signals; a retaining device (24) for the coupling element (26); and a joint adjusting means (28) for adjusting the holder (42) for the device for taking in the optical signals and the retaining device (24) for the coupling element. After adjustment using the joint adjusting means the holder and retaining device are fixed in position to form an aligned optoelectronic receiver. A method of making the aligned optoelectronic receiver is also described.
