OPTICAL COUPLER HOUSING

摘要

The present invention relates to a housing (10) for an optical coupler (12). The housing includes a primary protective body (14) having a receiving space therein wherein the coupled portion of the coupler is positioned. A support material (30) at least partially about the coupled portion (26) of the coupler (12) extends in the receiving space to the primary protective body. The sup- port material is resilient and has an index of refraction less than that of the coupled portion of the coupler.
