FIBER OPTIC JACK WITH HIGH INTERFACE MICMATCH TOLERANCE

摘要

A fiber optic connector jack is provided with a backcap processing module. The jack includes a lens housing having a lensed lid. A connector flange extends from the lensed lid top surface, shaped to selectively engage a plug connector housing. A microlens having a first surface is formed in the lensed lid bottom surface. A convex surface is formed in the lensed lid top surface to transceive light in a collimated beam with a plug optical interface. A backcap enclosure wall extends from the lensed lid bottom surface. The jack also includes a backcap processing module with a circuit substrate and an optical element. The optical element (e.g., a laser diode or photodiode) has an optical interface formed in a focal plane of the microlens to transceive light with the microlens first surface. An electrical connector and electrical cable selectively engages a printed circuit board with the circuit substrate.
