摘要： Various embodiments of arrangements for optically coupling an optical waveguide to an optical unit of an optical module are provided. One embodiment is an optical module for optically coupling an optical waveguide to an optical unit. One such optical module comprises: a reference structure having a reference geometry that defines a first axis of symmetry; an optical unit having an optical axis along which light is transmitted or received, the optical unit positioned relative to the reference structure with an offset between the first axis of symmetry and the optical axis; and a coupling element that couples the optical unit to an optical waveguide, the coupling element having an eccentric hole which functions as a fiber guide and a structural geometry adapted to compensate for the offset between the first axis of symmetry and the optical axis.

摘要： An optical connector is provided having a housing with a cavity formed therein through which an optical fiber passes. Within the cavity, a slightly bent, unjacketed portion of the core of the optical fiber is disposed. If conditions are such that pistoning of the core begins to occur, the slightly bent, unjacketed portion of the core straightens, thereby causing the end of the core to remain substantially flush with the end of the ferrule of the connector housing. In this way, the pistoning effect at the end of the fiber is prevented and optical losses associated with the occurrence of the pistoning effect are avoided.

For example, the polishing jig may be used with a variety of simplex connectors and with duplex connectors of at least first and second types. The first and second types of duplex connectors have different distances between the optical axes of their respective ferrules. The polishing jig may also be used with optical connectors having three or more ferrules having three or more respective optical axes.

摘要： The invention relates to an arrangement for optically coupling an optical waveguide to an optical unit of an optical module. The optical module has a reference geometry, which defines a first axis of symmetry. There is an offset between the optical axis of the optical unit and the axis of symmetry of the reference geometry. The invention provides a coupling element which eliminates the offset. The coupling element has, for this purpose, a hole, which is delimited by an inner surface, the inner surface of the coupling element defining a second axis of symmetry. The first axis of symmetry and the second axis of symmetry extend parallel to one another and have an offset with respect to one another which is essentially the same as the offset between the optical axis of the optical unit and the first axis of symmetry of the reference geometry as regards direction and magnitude. Furthermore, a beam-shaping element having an optical axis, which coincides with the second axis of symmetry, is provided on that side of the coupling element which faces the optical unit.

摘要： An optical module includes a housing, an actuator and a fiber clamp having at least one spring member. The actuator and housing are moveable in a sliding manner relative to one another such that the actuator can assume a first actuator position or a second actuator position relative to the housing. The spring member has a first portion in sliding contact with a ramped surface of the actuator and a second portion movable between a first clamp position and a second clamp position in response to sliding movement of the actuator between the first actuator position and second actuator position, respectively. Movement of the second portion of the spring member to the second clamp position reduces a dimension of a fiber passage in the module to frictionally engage an optical fiber in the fiber passage.
