Abstract

This invention relates to a device and method for aligning an optical fibre with an optical device in an opto-electronic package. The invention provides a device comprising a platform for mounting an optical device, to aid coupling of the optical device with an optical fibre in an opto-electronic package comprising a first part which is attachable to the opto-electronic package; a second part moveably attached to the first part such that the second part may only move with respect to the first part along a single axis, and in which the optical device is mountable on the second part. The invention also provides a method of aligning an optical fibre with an optical device in an opto-electronic package using such a platform.
