1. Optoelectrical coupling arrangement comprising:
- a carrier element having a side face and provided with at least one trough-shaped recess extending to the side face;
at least one optical fiber element fastened in the recess, having a longitudinal axis perpendicular to said side face, and presenting an end face positioned to lie in the region of said side face of said carrier element; and
at least one photodetector having transverse dimensions smaller than that of said side face and fastened to said side face via opposed edges of said photodetector so that said photodetector is located within the boundaries of said side face, and having a light-sensitive region positioned parallel to said side face to receive a substantial portion of the light emanating from said end face of said optical fiber element, and wherein said carrier element comprises at least one electrical conductive path connected electrically with said photodetector.
