1. An assembly comprising:

  • an optoelectronic device comprising a light propagating portion;

    a board having a pre-alignment hole extending through the board from a top major surface to a bottom major surface, the board arranged with respect to the optoelectronic device such that the pre-alignment hole is substantially aligned with the light propagating portion of the optoelectronic device; and

    a polymer-based fiber alignment structure located between the board and the optoelectronic device, the polymer-based fiber alignment structure comprising a tapered portion that is operative as a stationary guiding structure for automatically guiding an optical fiber into optical alignment with the light propagating portion of the optoelectronic device when the optical fiber is inserted via the pre-alignment hole of the board into the tapered portion of the polymer-based fiber alignment structure.
