Abstract

An optical-optoelectronic coupling structure comprising a flip-chip optoelectronic/ultrathin silicon-on-sapphire device mounted on a V-groove, optical-fiber-bearing carrier substrate, including light-reflective structures for launching light into the optical fiber core or transmitting light emitted by the optical fiber core to the optoelectronic device. The optical fiber may be immobilized in the V-groove using a curable resin adhesive characterized by a refractive index substantially similar to the refractive index of the optical fiber.
