Abstract
An electroluminescent semiconductor element is mounted in a housing with an optical fiber extending from the semiconductor element through an opening in the housing and projecting slightly beyond the housing. A plastic material completely surrounds the projecting portion of the optical fiber except for the adjacent end surface of the fiber. The plastic material secures the fiber to the housing, rigidly supports the projecting end portion of the fiber, and seals the opening in the housing through which the fiber extends. The end surface of the fiber is polished to permit emission of light emanating from the semiconductor element.
