ANGLED FIBER FERRULE HAVING OFF-AXIS FIBER THROUGH-HOLE AND METHOD OF COUPLING AN OPTICAL FIBER AT AN OFF-AXIS ANGLE
摘要
<p>An angle-polished optical fiber may be mounted relative to a laser at an off-axis angle to allow coupled light from a laser to be substantially aligned with the axis of the fiber core. An angled fiber ferrule may facilitate providing the off-axis angle when coupling the angle-polished optical fiber to a laser package. The angled fiber ferrule includes a through hole including at least a portion that is off-axis. The axis of the off-axis portion of the through hole is angled at the off-axis angle with respect to an axis of the ferrule body portion.</p>
