    Abstract: A system employs a flexible optical media (210), two connectors (220, 240), and a mechanism such as a magnet (226) that brings the connector (220, 240) together when the connectors are close to each other. The optical media (210) is able to guide optical signals, and one connector (220) is attached to an end of the optical media (210). Each connector (210, 240) also has alignment features (224, 244) and provides paths (222, 242) for the optical signals. The alignment features (224) of each connector are shaped to mate with the alignment features (244) of the other connector and to shift the connectors (220, 240) relative to each other as the mechanism (226) pushes the connector (220, 240) together. The alignment features (224, 244) further have seated positions at which the paths (222) in one connector are aligned with the paths (242) in the other connector and separated by a free space gap (230).

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to beamsplitters that include optical elements to correct for beam offset. In one embodiment, a beamsplitter includes a first plate having two approximately parallel and opposing planar surfaces and a partially reflective layer coating one of the planar surfaces, and a compensator plate having two approximately parallel and opposing planar surfaces. The compensator plate is positioned so that an incident beam of light passing through the compensator plate acquires a first beam offset. Subsequently, the incident beam of light with the first beam offset passing through the first plate is split into a reflected beam and a transmitted beam by the partially reflective layer where the transmitted beam has a second beam offset that substantially cancels the first beam offset such that the transmitted beam is approximately parallel to and aligned with the incident beam.
