    Abstract: An LBM package and method for packaging an LBM using a stamped metallic mirror array that folds light beams, correct beam shapes, fold and/or redirect beam propagations. The mirror array can be integrated or assembled inside an LBM to provide beam shaping and redirection of the high-power beams near the laser diode. The LBM incorporates a stamped metallic freeform mirror or reflector with an off-axis parabolic shape is configured to fold and collimate laser beam. A precision stamping process is deployed to produce an array of miniature, freeform mirrors in high volume applications. The mirror array simplifies the optical path and eliminates passive components such as refractive lenses and dichroic filters that combine RGB beams. Stamped metallic optical components with micro-scale freeform mirrors in the LBM are tolerant of high temperatures and can thermally diffuse heat away from the reflective surface for high power applications.

    Abstract: A reversible polarity fiber optic connector includes an outer housing having a front end, a rear end, and a receiving space defined between the front end and rear end; a ferrule assembly accommodated within the receiving space and configured to form an optical connection with a receptacle, the ferrule assembly including at least one ferrule protruding from the front end of the outer housing and configured to switch between a first position and second position; and a boot assembly rotatable connected to the rear end of the outer housing. When the boot assembly is rotated to an unlock position, the boot assembly is able to disconnect with the outer housing and the ferrule assembly is able to switch between the first position and second position.

    Abstract: A passive optical alignment coupling between an optical connector having a first two-dimensional planar array of alignment features and a foundation having a second two-dimensional planar array of alignment features. One of the arrays is a network of orthogonally intersecting longitudinal grooves defining an array of discrete protrusions that are each in a generally pyramidal shape with a truncated top separated from one another by the orthogonally intersecting longitudinal grooves, and the other array is a network of longitudinal cylindrical protrusions. The cylindrical protrusions are received in the grooves, with protrusion surfaces of the cylindrical protrusions in contact with groove surfaces and the top of the discrete protrusions contacting the surface bound by the cylindrical protrusions. The optical connector is removably attachable to the foundation to define a demountable coupling, with the first array of alignment features against the second array of alignment features to define an elastic averaging coupling.

    Abstract: An optical bench subassembly including an integrated photonic device. Optical alignment of the photonic device with the optical bench can be performed outside of an optoelectronic package assembly before attaching thereto. The photonic device is attached to a base of the optical bench, with its optical input/output in optical alignment with the optical output/input of the optical bench. The optical bench supports an array of optical fibers in precise relationship to a structured reflective surface. The photonic device is mounted on a submount to be attached to the optical bench. The photonic device may be actively or passively aligned with the optical bench. After achieving optical alignment, the submount of the photonic device is fixedly attached to the base of the optical bench. The optical bench subassembly may be structured to be hermetically sealed as a hermetic feedthrough, to be hermetically attached to a hermetic optoelectronic package.

    Abstract: A cleaning stick guide for an optical housing having ferrules therein. The cleaning stick guide includes a guide housing having a proximal end and a distal end. The guide housing includes an insert portion sized and shaped to be inserted into the optical housing. The insert portion defines the distal end of the guide housing. The guide housing includes guide passageways. Each guide passageway extends from the proximal end to the distal end. Each guide passageway is arranged in the guide housing to align with one of the ferrules in the optical housing when the guide housing is inserted into the optical housing. Each guide passageway is sized and shaped to receive a cleaning stick and to guide the cleaning stick to said one ferrule for cleaning the ferrule.

    Abstract: The fiber optic adapter may include a main body having a first end portion and a second end portion spaced apart along a length direction, the first end portion having at least a first port configured for receiving at least one ferrule, the second end portion having at least a second port configured for receiving a fiber optic connector; and a sleeve holder provided within the main body and between the first end portion and second end portion such that the first port is in communication with the second port to establish an optical connection. The first port has holding elements to define a receiving space to receive the ferrule, and the receiving space is configured to be expanded when inserting the at least one ferrule into the first port. The fiber optic adapter may receive a ferrule without the need of an outer housing or a spring.

    Abstract: A multi-fiber, fiber optic connector may include a reversible keying arrangement for determining the orientation for plugging the connector into an adapter to thereby allow for a change in polarity of the connection to be made on site. The connector housing may be configured to engage with a removable key that may be engaged with the housing in at least two different locations to provide the plug-in orientation, or the housing may have slidably displaceable keys movable between multiple positions on the housing.
