Claims
- 1. An optical coupling configuration for connecting an optical conductor to first and second optoelectronic components each having a light entry or light exit surface, comprising:
a common substrate having parallel surface regions respectively carrying the optoelectronic components adjacent one another; wherein the optoelectronic components are arranged such that the light entry or light exit surface of the first optoelectronic component extends substantially perpendicular to said substrate and the light entry or light exit surface of the second optoelectronic component extends substantially parallel to said substrate; a molded part formed of an optically transparent material and having a first surface fastened on one of the light entry or light exit surfaces and a second surface; and a beam-splitting layer formed on said second surface above the second optoelectronic component and enclosing an angle of substantially 45° with said substrate.
- 2. The configuration according to claim 1, wherein said molded part is a prism formed with said second surface on which said beam-splitting layer constructed.
- 3. The configuration according to claim 1, wherein said molded part is a beam-splitting cube, and said second surface with said beam-splitting layer extends in said beam-splitting cube.
- 4. The configuration according to claim 1, wherein said beam-splitting layer is a wavelength-selective reflecting layer.
- 5. An optical coupling configuration for connecting an optical conductor having a coupling end face to first and second optoelectronic components each having a light entry or light exit surface, comprising:
a common substrate extending substantially parallel to the optical conductor and carrying the optoelectronic components adjacent one another; wherein the optoelectronic components are arranged such that the light entry or light exit surface of the first optoelectronic component extends substantially perpendicular to said substrate and the light entry or light exit surface of the second optoelectronic component extends substantially parallel to said substrate; and a beam-splitting layer formed on the coupling end face of the optical conductor and aligned above the second optoelectronic component to enclose an angle of substantially 45° with said substrate.
- 6. The configuration according to claim 5, wherein said beam-splitting layer is a wavelength-selective reflecting layer.
