In accordance with the invention, a multimode optical fiber communication system is provided with offset illumination by disposing an optical pinhole adjacent an end of the multimode fiber core and offset from the center of the core. The pinhole permits direct offset illumination without the difficulty and expense of a conventional patch-cord assembly.

Multimode fiber communication system with enhanced bandwidth

The invention is an optoelectronic device including a semiconductor photodetector enclosed within a plastic housing. The housing includes a wall with an aperture therein for receiving optical signals. The photodetector is mounted to a flexible film which is, in turn, mounted to the housing so that the photodetector is aligned with the aperture. The device may further include a receptacle mounted to the wall for receiving an optical fiber aligned with the aperture and the photodetector.
