Abstract
An optoelectronic assembly () includes a laser () for emitting light along a main optical path. Beam splitters () split a proportion of light from the main optical path and the split light is guided by optical light guides () to a photodiode array (). The light guides () are mouldable and substantially rigid and can be co fabricated as a single assembly including fiducials to facilitate positioning on a substrate () of the assembly (). By having the array () adjacent the periphery of the substrate (), wirebonds () need only be provided directly from the array () to a feed-through (), and electrical tracks on the substrate and ceramic blocks for mounting the photodiodes are eliminated, as is individual placement of the ceramic blocks on the substrate.
