    Abstract: The invention is related to devices that couple light into and out of concentric multicore fibers (MCFs). One embodiment of the invention is directed to a multiplexing/demultiplexing coupler, formed using at least two diffractive optical elements, so that light from one of the cores of the concentric MCF exits the coupler along a first axis and the light from another of the cores of the MCF exits coupler along another axis displaced form the first axis. In another embodiment, an add/drop filter includes at least one diffractive optical element, and directs light from one core of the concentric MCF to one fiber and light from one or more other cores of the concentric MCF to another fiber. In another embodiment, a mixing coupler transmits light from inner and outer cores of a first concentric MCF respectively to outer and inner cores of a second concentric MCF.

    Abstract: A fiber optic adapter includes an adapter body defining a port leading to an alignment structure. The optical adapter also defines a platform disposed at the first port. The platform is recessed inwardly from an outer periphery of the adapter body. The platform includes latching members having catch surfaces. A fiber optic connector includes a connector plug body holding an optical fiber. The connector also includes a latching arm having a latching end that defines two rearwardly facing catch surfaces separated by a central webbing, which extends along a length of the latching arm. The rearwardly facing catch surfaces align with the catch surfaces of the latching members when the fiber optic connector is received at the fiber optic adapter.

    Abstract: Optical fibers of a multi-fiber cable are grouped into connection units. The distal ends of the fibers of each connection unit are terminated at a connection unit body that attaches to a tapering cable core formed of longer ones of the connection units. After deployment of the cable, two or more connection units can be stacked together to form a connector or inserted into a connector shell. Prior to deployment of the cable, at least some of the connection units are spaced from each other along the cable. For example, individual connection units may be disposed at one end of the tapering cable core and stacks of connection units may be disposed at the other end of the tapering cable core.
