vcsel array with the associated windows of each vcsel device the angle of the reflective surface of the fiber 112 may be any convenient value and may vary among different fibers 112 within the v grooves if desired 0057 fig1 l shows the cross section view of the fig1 i embodiment in which the light path of a beam of light transmitted from the component 100 to the fiber 112 is shown referring to fig1 l the beam traverses the translucent platform 103 the v groove and penetrates an outer surface of the fiber 112 for this reason the portion of the fiber that is in the path of the beam must have a translucent surface permitting entry of the light beam into the fiber 112 once in the fiber the beam traverses the fiber reflects off of the reflective surface and travels down the fiber core after passing through the glass substrate and the fiber cladding the light beams from vcsel array are reflected by the angled fiber core then propagate along the fiber array 0058 fig2 a depicts a three dimensional view of an integrated platform according to an embodiment of the present invention which introduces a curved reflecting surface for laser reflection and focusing referring to fig2 a the substrate comprises multiple curved surfaces 401 that each function as concave mirrors incident light from a vcsel is reflected off of the curved surfaces 401.
