An arrangement for interconnecting an optical fiber to an optical component

摘要

An optical subsystem arrangement enables the electrical conductive or non-conductive bonding of an optical device to ferrules containing an optical fiber or to the optical fiber itself. In one embodiment, one or more contacts (104) deposited on an end-face of the ferrule (100) is bonded to one or more contacts (211) on the optical component (210). Another embodiment is an opto/electrical connector for interconnecting an optical fiber through an optoelectronic component to one or more electrical facilities. Another arrangement enables the interconnecting of a plurality of optical devices to a plurality of optical fibers.
