Abstract: An optical receptacle, includes a fiber stub having an optical fiber with a core and cladding, a ferrule with a through-hole fixing the optical fiber, a bonding agent fixing the optical fiber in the through hole and a holder holding the fiber stub. The optical fiber is disposed inside the through-hole over an entire region of the optical fiber, and includes a portion in which a core diameter and a fiber outer diameter decrease gradually toward an end surface of the ferrule on a side opposite to a side to be optically connected to a plug ferrule. The bonding agent is filled into a space between the optical fiber and an inner wall of the through-hole.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, an optical receptacle, comprising: a fiber stub including an optical fiber, a ferrule, and an elastic member, the optical fiber including cladding and a core for conducting light, the ferrule having a through-hole fixing the optical fiber, the elastic member being filled into the through-hole of the ferrule with the optical fiber; and a holder holding the fiber stub, the through-hole of the ferrule including a small diameter portion and a large diameter portion, the optical fiber being disposed in the small diameter portion, the large diameter portion being provided on a side opposite to a side to be optically connected to a plug ferrule, the optical fiber being disposed in the small diameter portion inside the through-hole of the ferrule over the entire region of the optical fiber, the elastic member having substantially the same refractive index as the core, being filled into the small diameter portion and the large diameter portion, and being polished to cause at least a portion of the elastic member to be a flat surface portion at an end surface of the fiber stub on the side opposite to the side to be optically connected to the plug ferrule. By disposing the optical fiber in the small diameter portion of the through-hole of the ferrule over the entire region of the optical fiber, the breaking and/or cracking of the optical fiber and the decrease of the coupling efficiency can be prevented. Further, by setting the end surface of the elastic member filled into the through-hole of the ferrule to be a flat surface, the decrease of the coupling efficiency due to reflections is prevented without performing processing of the optical fiber end surface; and economic production is made possible.

Abstract: An optical receptacle includes a fiber stub, a block, and a first elastic member. The fiber stub includes an optical fiber, and a ferrule provided on one end side of the optical fiber. The block is separated from the ferrule and has one end surface, an other end surface, and a through-hole extending from the one end surface to the other end surface. A portion of the optical fiber protrudes from the ferrule and is inserted into the through-hole. The first elastic member fixes the optical fiber in the through-hole. The portion of the optical fiber includes first to third portions. The second portion is provided between the first portion and the third portion. A core diameter at the first portion is smaller than a core diameter at the third portion. A core diameter at the second portion increases from the first portion toward the third portion.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the invention, an optical receptacle, comprising: a fiber stub including an optical fiber, a ferrule, and an elastic member, the optical fiber including cladding and a core conducting light, the ferrule having a through-hole fixing the optical fiber, the elastic member fixing the optical fiber in the ferrule; and a holder holding the fiber stub, the optical fiber being disposed inside the through-hole over an entire region of the optical fiber, the optical fiber including a portion, a core diameter and a fiber outer diameter in the portion decreasing gradually toward an end surface of the ferrule on a side opposite to a side to be optically connected to a plug ferrule, the elastic member being filled into a space between the optical fiber and an inner wall of the through-hole. By making the core small at the optical element side end surface of the optical fiber while contributing to shortening the optical module total length, the strength of the deformable portion of the optical fiber can be ensured; the occurrence of breaking and cracks can be prevented; and the decrease of the coupling efficiency can be prevented by suppressing the movement of the optical fiber when using the optical module.
