Abstract: A fiber-bundle sub-assembly includes an array of fiber bundles each having at least one optical fiber. The fiber bundles have select relative positions in the array. The sub-assembly includes first and second connecting elements that run along the array and that are secured to axially staggered top and bottom anchors to define first and second connecting spans that cross first and second sides of the array, with the first and second sides defined by first and second sets of fiber bundles. The first and second connecting spans are respectively attached to the first and second sets of fibers bundles to maintain the select relative positions of the fiber bundles even when the connecting spans are cut near one of the anchors during processing. A loose-tube cable that includes the fiber-bundle sub-assembly and a method of connectorizing the fiber bundles while maintaining their select positions are also disclosed.

Abstract: Optical connections and optical receptacle bodies are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical connection includes an optical chip, a receptacle body and first and second alignment pins. The optical chip includes a surface, an edge extending from the surface, and at least one optical waveguide within the optical chip and terminating at the edge. The receptacle body includes a first surface, a second surface, a first groove at the second surface, a second groove at the second surface, and a through-hole extending from the first surface to the second surface, wherein the through-hole is disposed between the first groove and the second groove. The first alignment pin is disposed on the surface of the optical chip and within the first groove of the receptacle body. The second alignment pin is disposed on the surface of the optical chip and within the second groove of the receptacle body.

Abstract: Disclosed are transceivers using a pluggable optical body. In one embodiment the transceiver comprises a transceiver receptacle body and a substrate assembly. The transceiver receptacle body comprises a front side, a rear side and at least one optical channel at the optical interface with the front side having at least one alignment pin and the rear side having at least one cavity. The substrate assembly comprises a substrate supporting at least one active electronic component and the substrate comprising at least one alignment feature for cooperating with the at least one alignment pin of the transceiver receptacle body. In one variation, one or more alignment pins may extend from the front side into the cavity of the transceiver receptacle body.
