Abstract

A method of manufacturing an assembly to couple an optical fiber to an opto-electronic component includes providing the optical fiber having an end section with a front face to couple light in and out of the optical fiber, providing a housing to encase the end section of the optical fiber. The housing is formed with an opening to receive the optical fiber. The method further includes inserting the optical fiber in the opening such that the end section of the optical fiber is disposed inside the housing, attaching the optical fiber to a surface of the housing arranged to form a boundary of the opening, and aligning the front face of the optical fiber to the opto-electronic component.
