To ensure the best optical coupling during the assembly of optical devices, such as WDM couplers, the elements making up the optical device are mounted with the ir longitudinal axes offset from each other, resulting in no two devices having identical structures. Moreover, it is also common for one of the elements to have a larger diameter than anothe r. Therefore, it is very difficult to provide a package that will be satisfactory for every one of the optical devices. Furthermore, current manufacturing techniques require labor intensive steps that include one or more gluing or welding steps. Accordingly, the present invention provides an optical package that is suitable for optical devices with slightly varying structures, and that can be assembled relatively quickly and easily. The present invention relates to a package fo r an optical device, comprising two mating sections, each section including a rigid outer protective shell, and a resilient inner body. The package is easily clamped together using snap clip s, which are integral with the rigid outer protective shells. Preferably, strain relief is provide d integrated on each end of the resilient inner bodies.
