An optical module for connecting between an optical fiber and a photoelectric conversion device mounted on a printed circuit board includes a main body made of transmissive material and having a slanted face and a bottom face, the slanted face being at an angle to the bottom face, a reception-purpose lens, and a transmission-purpose lens, wherein the slanted face serves as a mirror on an optical path extending in the main body between the reception-purpose lens and the transmission-purpose lens.

Optical module and method of making optical module

An electronic apparatus includes a substrate and an optical connector connected to a waveguide on the substrate. The optical connector includes a ferrule that holds an optical fiber and has front and rear parts along a connecting direction of the optical connector with respect to the substrate. The ferrule has a hook and a presser member provided on a bottom face at the front part of the ferrule, a projection provided on the bottom face at the rear part of the ferrule, and a sloping part including a groove formed in the bottom face to hold the optical fiber. The optical fiber is held obliquely downward toward the substrate by the sloping part. The substrate has holes to receive the hook and the projection, and a groove to receive the optical fiber.

Electronic apparatus having optical connector connected to waveguide

An optical connector includes at least one optical fiber, and a ferrule configured to hold the optical fiber. In the optical connector, the ferrule has a hook and a presser member on a front part of a bottom face of the ferrule, and a projection on a rear part of the bottom face of the ferrule, in a connecting direction, and the optical fiber is held obliquely downward from a rear end of the ferrule toward the presser member of the ferrule.

Optical connector, electronic apparatus, and optical connector mounting method

An optical connector includes an optical fiber, and a ferrule configured to hold the optical fiber, wherein the ferrule has a front part, a rear part, a deformable mechanism to connect between the front part and the rear part, and an opening to allow the optical fiber to bend along with displacement of the deformable mechanism, and wherein the deformable mechanism has a restrictor to restrict the displacement or deformation of the deformable mechanism, the restrictor being provided at least between the deformable mechanism and the front part or between the deformable mechanism and the rear part.

Optical connector

An optical connector includes: a holding member that holds an optical transmission line; a lens member that has a lens; a concavo-convex structure provided between the holding member and the lens member; and a moving member that moves the concavo-convex structure between a first state where a protrusion and a recess of the concavo-convex structure are engaged with each other and a second state where a gap is formed between the protrusion and the recess.

An optical connector includes a fiber holder with guide holes for guiding optical fibers, a space communicating with the guide holes and to accommodate the optical fibers, and a deformable member that forms at least a part of the fiber holder and causes the space to deform or displace to allow a part or all of the optical fibers to bend in the space.

Optical connector, optical fiber incorporating method, and electronic information equipment

An optical connector includes a fiber holder to hold optical fibers; a housing to accommodate the optical fibers and the fiber holder; and a thermally driven actuator to displace at least a part of the fiber holder upon application of heat from a first position at which the fiber holder is retracted inside the housing to a second position that allows the optical fibers to be optically coupled to a counterpart connector.
