Abstract:
A lens ferrule for connection to a second ferrule includes a plurality of lenses disposed in a recess formed in a contact face that comes in contact with the second ferrule, a slit formed in an insertion face opposite the contact face and configured to receive an optical waveguide, a through hole cut into the contact face and configured to receive a guide pin for positional alignment with the second ferrule, a lens-position reference plane configured to serve as a reference for measuring positions of the lenses, and a slit-position reference plane configured to serve as a reference for measuring a position of the slit, wherein the lens-position reference plane and the slit-position reference plane are disposed at different depths from the contact face in an area including the through hole.
Abstract:
A pull part for coupling to a connector includes a latch configured to be coupled to a housing of the connector and a tab configured to be coupled to the latch, wherein the latch has two support parts, a beam, and connecting portions, the beam connecting the two support parts, the connecting portions being situated between the support parts and the beam, and the two support parts configured to be attached to the housing, wherein the tab includes a body and a handle, the body having connection grooves formed at one side thereof and having the handle at an opposite side thereof, and wherein the connecting portions situated between the support parts and the beam are inserted into the connection grooves so as to couple the latch and the tab to each other.
Abstract:
An optical module for connecting photoelectric conversion device on a substrate to a ferrule connected to an optical fiber includes a body configured to be mounted on the substrate, a first lens disposed on the body at a side thereof connectable to the ferrule, a second lens disposed on the body at a side thereof facing the substrate, and a core disposed in the body between the first lens and the second lens, wherein a refractive index of the core is higher than a refractive index of the body.
Abstract:
An optical waveguide module includes an optical waveguide sheet including multiple optical waveguides, and a light-emitting device and a light-receiving device each positioned over a surface of the optical waveguide sheet. At least one of the optical waveguides includes a first mirror, a second mirror, and a slit. The first mirror is configured to reflect light entering the corresponding optical waveguide from its first end to the light-receiving device or to reflect light emitted from the light-emitting device toward the first end of the corresponding optical waveguide. The second mirror is configured to reflect light entering the corresponding optical waveguide from its second end toward the surface of the optical waveguide sheet. The slit is provided between the second mirror and the second end of the corresponding optical waveguide. The corresponding optical waveguide is discontinuous across the slit.
