ENVIRONMENTALLY RUGGED FREE-SPACE FIBER WAVEGUIDE CONNECTOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF |
| 摘要 |
Various embodiments of free-space fiber waveguide connectors, feed-throughs and GRIN lens assemblies and methods of bonding GRIN lenses in, and aligning waveguide fibers to, such connectors, feed-throughs and assemblies. In one embodiment, a free-space fiber waveguide connector comprises a waveguide fiber mount including a fiber holder, a fiber waveguide, and a bonding agent bonding said fiber waveguide to said fiber holder, a coefficient of expansion of said fiber holder nominally matching a coefficient of expansion of said fiber waveguide and also nominally matching a coefficient of expansion of said bonding agent, said fiber waveguide having a surface oriented at a nonzero angle with respect to an axis of said fiber. |

1. A free-space fiber waveguide connector, comprising:
a waveguide fiber mount including a fiber holder, a fiber waveguide, and a bonding agent bonding said fiber waveguide to said fiber holder, a coefficient of expansion of said fiber holder nominally matching a coefficient of expansion of said fiber waveguide and also nominally matching a coefficient of expansion of said bonding agent, said fiber waveguide having a surface oriented at a nonzero angle with respect to an axis of said fiber. |
