A plug-in connector for connecting and transmitting signals from a circuit board to a back plane wherein the plug-in connector comprises means for transmitting optical signals into the plug-in connector and at least one mirror coupled to the transmitting means for deflecting light at an approximately 90null angle in the plug-in connector. There is also a lens system disposed adjacent to the mirror and coupled to the transmitting means, for coupling the light into the plug-in connector. This means for transmitting optical signals can comprise a plurality of glass fiber lines for coupling in the optical signal. Alternatively, this means for transmitting optical signals could be lines formed from plastic polymers.

A cylindrical holder material having a thin deformed portion is located in a press forming die. An optical element material is installed inside the holder material and the holder material and the optical element material are heated to their respective softening temperatures, thereby forming a cylindrical holder from the holder material and an optical element from the optical element material by press forming the holder material and the optical element material that have been heated to their respective softening temperatures. Thus, the optical element is integrated inside the holder and the deformed portion of the holder is deformed towards the outside thereof by a pressing force applied by the optical element.

A housing for optoelectronic devices provides EMI shielding and axial strain suppression for optical fibers coupled to optoelectronic devices retained within the housing. The housing includes an internal septum for EMI shielding and a grounding scheme including relief features of the conductive housing coupled to internal grounding strips. The housing provides a first exemplary engaging/locking feature including an orthogonal tongue and a groove that receives the tongue, and a second exemplary engaging/locking feature that includes a groove having an intermittently varying cross-sectional area and that retains a gasket of constant cross-sectional area. Arms extend from the housing and retain an optical fiber that is secured to the arm by an adhesive such that axial strain is not exerted at the point of optical coupling and a high optical coupling efficiency is maintained. In an exemplary embodiment, the housing includes an opening through a bottom surface, the opening bounded by beveled edges to aid in blind alignment of the housing over components formed on a mounting surface. The bottom of the housing includes a recessed portion that retains a gasket. The recessed portion receives a gasket of constant thickness and includes a gap of varying thickness that provides for sufficient compression throughout the gasket and a tight, EMI-shielding seal formed between the housing and the mounting surface.

A photonic test package that includes one or more detachable weld plates that allow components to be removed from the package. The weld plates may support relatively inexpensive optical components such as lenses, collimators and optical isolators. A photonic device such as a laser diode or photodetector is permanently attached to the package base plate. The weld plates are attached to the package base plate by fasteners that allow the plates to be removed from the package. The optical components are aligned with the photonic device welded/soldered to the weld plates. Test data may be taken regarding any weld/solder component shift. The weld plates and accompanying optical components can be removed and replace with a new set of plates/components so that the weld/solder process can be repeated with the same package without discarding the relatively expensive photonic device.

A dual shutter fiber optic assembly terminating multiple optical fibers at a connection point, comprising a fiber optic connector and a receptacle with a shutter situated on each side of the termination, is described. The shutters are operatively connected to the receptacle and connector, so as to move between a first and second position. In the first position, when the connector and receptacle are not joined, the shutters cover a connection aperture on both the connector and the receptacle, respectively. When the connector is joined with the receptacle, the shutters move into the second position, thereby uncovering the connection apertures. Additionally, the receptacle may include a spring-loaded Micro-switch actuated by inserting or withdrawing the connector from the receptacle. The Micro-switch is operatively connected to a power source for the light emitting device terminated by the receptacle.

摘要:
A pluggable optical transceiver module is described. The pluggable optical transceiver module has an optical fiber connecting interface, a transceiver, a golden finger connecting interface. The optical fiber connecting interface couples with an optical fiber to transmit optical signals to other devices. The transceiver transforms output electrical signals into output optical signals for delivery by the optical fiber connecting interface, and input optical signals into input electrical signals. The golden finger connecting interface transmits the output electrical signals and the input electrical signals of the pluggable optical transceiver module.

摘要:
The present invention relates to an optical fibre communication component (1), and particularly a connector receptacle (10) for connecting to a connector plug (20) having an optical fibre (6) mounted within a projecting cylindrical ferrule. The connector receptacle (10) comprises a housing (2) that has a passageway (3) with an entrance for receiving the ferrule (7). A split sleeve clamp (27) is seated within the passageway (3) and has an opening oriented towards the entrance for receiving the projecting ferrule (7). A hollow sleeve (23) having a cylindrical outer surface (36) and an axially extending open channel (37), is gripped by the split sleeve clamp to define the diameter of the opening to the clamp. The open channel (37) extends along the longitudinal axis (5) of the passageway (3) to allow optical radiation (50) to be transmitted through the channel (37) to/from said connector plug (20).
