Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber alignment device that has an alignment housing that includes first and second ends. The alignment housing defines a fiber insertion axis that extends through the alignment housing between the first and second ends. The alignment housing includes a fiber alignment region at an intermediate location between the first and second ends. First and second fiber alignment rods are positioned within the alignment housing. The first and second fiber alignment rods cooperate to define a fiber alignment groove that extends along the fiber insertion axis. The first and second fiber alignment rods each having rounded ends positioned at the first and second ends of the alignment housing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to ferrule-less fiber optic connectors, systems, and methods for enhancing the physical contact or connection interface between a first plurality of optical fibers and a second plurality of optical fibers after a cleaving process. The present disclosure is directed at ensuring proper alignment and performance of mated optical fibers by controlling the orientation of major flared sides relative to a connector keying feature.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic assembly including a flexible substrate and a plurality of optical fibers having affixed segments bonded to the flexible substrate along fiber routing paths. The optical fibers having first ends positioned at route termination locations corresponding to optical connection locations. The fiber optic assembly also includes a planar lightguide circuit chip having lightguides optically connected to second ends of the optical fibers including a silicon substrate and a core layer supported by the silicon substrate. Optical signal paths are defined that extend continuously from the first ends of the optical fibers through the second ends of the optical fibers to the lightguides without any optical fiber splices being located along the optical signal paths. The optical device also includes a spring mounted to the planar lightguide circuit chip for biasing the optical fiber into the alignment groove.

Abstract: A fiber optic connector including a connector body and a cable, the cable including optical fibers and a non-circular jacket. The fiber optic connector additionally including a resilient jacket, the resilient jacket is rotatable relative to the non-circular jacket. The resilient jacket is enabled to rotate by an insert which includes an outer profile which engages with an inner profile of the resilient jacket. The insert includes an inner profile which prevents relative rotation between the insert and the non-circular jacket.
