Abstract
This invention relates to an optoelectronic component which has the following: an optical component which emits optical signals to an input/output end face of a light guide and/or receives optical signals and converts them into electronic signals, a component carrier located on the optical component, and a housing part which surrounds the optical component and which has coupling means which form optical coupling means and mechanical coupling means (alignment means), the optical coupling means routing the optical signals coming from the optical component to the input end face of the light guide and/or routing the optical beams emerging from the input/output end face of the light guide to the optical component, the mechanical alignment means aligning the light guide with respect to the optical component for efficient signal transmission.
