A method for assembling a ferrule for an optical wave guide connector, a ferrule for an optical wave guide connector, a wave guide ribbon and a tool for assembling the ferrule. The method includes aligning a first body of the ferrule with respect to an alignment body. The first body includes a longitudinal recess adapted to receive at least one wave guide ribbon. Each wave guide ribbon includes at least one optical wave guide. The method further includes aligning at least one wave guide ribbon with respect to the alignment body and inserting the at least one wave guide ribbon into the longitudinal recess of the first body. Lastly, the method further includes closing the longitudinal recess of the first body with a second body of the ferrule.

An optical coupling device for coupling light with an optical waveguide comprises a mirror formed within an optical waveguide. The mirror comprises a first material, a first reflective end, and a second reflective end. The first material is light conducting and has a first refractive index. The first and second reflective ends reflect and transmit light. The mirror has an axis line. The optical coupling device is useful for extracting light from a waveguide and providing a backlight for a liquid crystal display.

A singlemode lightwaveguide-coupling element is positioned between an initial waveguide section which there has a basic final width (W0f) and a final waveguide section which there has a basic initial width (Wn+1i) which is bigger than the basic final width (W0f). The lightwave directions of both waveguide sections are inclined at a predetermined total angle (&Dgr;&agr;) towards each other. Starting from the initial waveguide section, the lightwaveguide element comprises intermediate waveguide sections each of which at its end has a lightwave direction which is inclined towards the lightwave direction at its opposite end at an inclination angle (&Dgr;&agr;v), such that the sum of all inclination angles equals the predetermined total angle (&Dgr;&agr;).

A flip-chip bonder fabricates an optical assembly by horizontally positioning a flexible portion of a substrate including a waveguide with the waveguide exposed at one end edge of the substrate; bending a portion of the flexible substrate to place the waveguide exposed end in approximately a vertical position; vertically positioning a bond head containing an optical component upon the waveguide exposed substrate edge to optically mate the optical component with the exposed waveguide; and fixably mounting the optical component to the substrate edge.

Techniques for producing a flexible structure attached to a device. One embodiment includes the steps of providing a first substrate, providing a second substrate with a releasably attached flexible structure, providing a bonding layer on at least one of the first substrate and the flexible structure, adjoining the first and second substrate such that the flexible structure is attached at the first substrate by means of the bonding layer, and detaching the second substrate in such a way that the flexible structure remains on the first substrate.
