Abstract
A device for coupling optical signals into at least one waveguide having at least one electro-optical converter, which sends out the optical signals in the direction of the axis or of the core of the waveguide, in such a way that active alignment of the waveguide is not necessary. The electro-optical converter is incorporated, in particular embedded, in at least one send-site optical subassembly, the send-site optical subassembly has at least one guiding channel for aligning the waveguide with respect to the electro-optical converter, in particular relative to the output port or to the active surface of the electro-optical converter, and at least one extension is assigned to the send-site optical subassembly, in particular to the guiding channel, the extension being provided for aligning the waveguide with respect to the guiding channel. Also, a device for decoupling optical signals from at least one waveguide having the features noted above.
