At least one of the optical components is secured to the substrate by a curable bonding material of a type curable in response to exposure to radiation in said frequency range. One optical component preferably comprises an optical fiber secured to an optical fiber holder holding the optical fiber and secured to the substrate. An active optical component is optically aligned with the optical fiber and is secured to an active optical component holder holding the active optical component and secured to the substrate.
