Optical Assembly

摘要

An optical assembly comprising: (a) a substrate having a first planar surface; (b) an optical component connected to the substrate and having a second planar surface parallel to the first surface and at least one first optical axis; (c) a plurality of optical fiber stubs having a certain diameter and being disposed at least partially between the substrate and the optical component; (d) at least one of the substrate or the optical component having one or more grooves on the first or second surfaces, respectively, such that each groove is configured to receive one of the plurality of fiber stubs such that each of the fiber stubs protrudes a first distance from the first or second surface to space the first surface the first distance from the second surface; and (e) a least one optical conduit having a second optical axis, the optical conduit being disposed on the first or second surface such that the second optical axis is optically aligned with the first optical axis.

1. An optical assembly comprising:
a substrate having a first planar surface; an optical component connected to said substrate and having a second planar surface parallel to said first surface and at least one first optical axis; a plurality of optical fiber stubs having a certain diameter and being disposed at least partially between said substrate and said optical component; at least one of said substrate or said optical component having one or more grooves on said first or second surfaces, respectively, such that each groove is configured to receive one of said plurality of fiber stubs such that each of said fiber stubs protrudes a first distance from said first or second surface to space said first surface said first distance from said second surface; and a least one optical conduit having a second optical axis, said optical conduit being disposed on said first or second surface such that said second optical axis is optically aligned with said first optical axis.
