Optical fiber ferrule assembly.

摘要

An optical fiber ferrule assembly is disclosed which comprises an inner sleeve (12) (of a metallic material, for example) including a necked-down portion (14) for securing the fiber (16), and an outer housing (22) (of a plastic material, for example) formed as a cylindrical member through which the sleeve may be inserted. A spacer element may be attached to a flanged end portion of the sleeve and subsequently laser welded to an associated optical submount. <IMAGE>
