Abstract
A fiber optic device includes a support having one or more optical fibers coupled to the support and a base that includes one or more optoelectronic devices. The support is coupled to the base such that one or more of the optoelectronic devices are optically coupled to one or more of the optical fibers. A portion of the one or more optical fibers that is in contact with the support may be bent and one or more of the optoelectronic devices may be optically coupled to the bent portion of one or more of the optical fibers.
