OPTICAL-FIBER COUPLING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide the optical fiber coupling device which moves individual optical fiber connectors relatively and freely so that the optical fiber connectors are in an optimum array for the optoelectronics device of the optoelectronics module. CONSTITUTION: This device has a housing 41 which is arranged adjacently to optoelectronics devices 21 and 23 of an optoelectronics assembly and has a room inside. In this room, an optical means is stored. Further, the optical fiber coupling device 15 has a latch means 73, which is positioned in the housing 41 and engages the end parts of the optoelectronics devices 21 and 23 first and then engages the end part 31 of the optical means, The latch means 73 can be oriented relatively fixedly in the housing 41 at the time of the 1st engagement and operates to hold the optical means in the room at the time of the 2nd engagement.
