| 1. An optical device comprising:
a substrate having first and second oppositely facing generally parallel planar surfaces;
at least one optical fiber, having a core, mounted on said substrate along said first generally parallel planar surface, said
substrate and said at least one optical fiber being cut by a common transverse notch having at least one inclined surface
extending entirely through said core of said at least one optical fiber, said first generally parallel planar surface and
partially through said substrate, and defining at least one of end of said at least one optical fiber at said at least one
inclined surface; and
at least one optical element adhesively mounted at least partially within said notch, said at least one optical element including
at least one reflective optical surface facing an end of said at least one optical fiber lying at one of said at least one
inclined surface and also facing said second parallel planar surface of said substrate.
