Fiber to lens attach device, system, and method

摘要

A device, system, and method of attaching fiber optics to a transceiver are provided. Specifically, a connector module may include a fiber input angled relative to a lens groove or set of grooves such that the inherent stiffness of the fiber can be used to provide a positive pressure of the fiber when attaching the fiber to the groove or set of grooves.

主权项

1. An optical system, comprising:
a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) comprising optical and electrical components mounted thereon; a main connector module adapted to substantially enclose the optical and electrical components within a cavity; a second connector module adapted to be removably attached to the main connector module such that when the second connector module is attached to the main connector module, a lens component of the second connector module is positioned in an operable position with respect to the optical components mounted on the PCB; and a pair of fiber retainers adapted to receive and retain optical fiber at an angle greater than zero with respect to grooves that support and position the optical fiber relative to the lens component of the second connector module.
