<p>An optical connector (10) for coupling a semiconductor light source (46,46') to an optical fibertransmission line (12). A light source such as a light emitting diode is mounted on a movable post (52, 52') within a housing (34) in juxtaposition to the end of an optical fiber (12) centered within a channel in a connector housing (14). The optical fiber is held stationary whereas the post supporting the light emitting diode is moved by a probe inserted through multiple aligning ports (54), until the diode is properly positioned for optimum light coupling into the fiber.</p> |
