Abstract
An optical fiber and an electroluminescent semiconductor diode are each secured to separate mounting blocks which in turn are secured to each other, either directly or through an additional block, with the optical fiber aligned with the output of the diode. The mounting blocks are secured together by a thin layer of a bonding material which is preferably fast setting so as to prevent or limit relative movement between the mounting blocks which could cause misalignment of the optical fiber and the diode. The bonding material is preferably of the type which is cured when subjected to ultraviolet light, and at least one of the mounting blocks is preferably transparent to the ultraviolet light.
