OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENT

The invention relates to an optoelectronic component for receiving light, which component comprises a housing (3; 13; 23; 33; 53; 63; 73; 83; 93; 03) with an axially extending cavity (4; 14; 24; 34) arranged to receive an incoming beam; at least one adjustable arrangement comprising at least one lens(6; 16; 26; 36; 56; 66; 76; 86; 96; 106), and a first adjustment means (Ax, Ay; A1, A2)for adjusting the focal point of said lens relative to the end surface of an optical fiber (2; 12; 22; 32;57; 67; 74, 77; 87a, 87b; 94; 107) connectable to the housing. The arrangement further comprises a first body (7; 17; 27; 37)arranged to influence said lens position; a second body (8; 18; 28; 38) contacting the first body and journal led in the housing, and that the first adjustment means (A1, A2)is arranged to act on the first body (7; 17; 27; 37)to rotate the first body spherically around a distant point(P; P1; P2; P3) and to alter the position of said lens,in order to locate the focal point of the lens on the end surface of the optical fiber.
