Systems and method for automatically assembling a multi-fiber optical ferrule. Holes are drilled or etched in a thin, flat substrate. A vacuum gripper and further alignment components are used to provide sufficient lateral alignment for insertion of the optical fibers. The protrusion of each optical fiber is detected on an output side of the substrate, and an adhesive is applied to attach the fibers to the substrate.

Multi-fiber ferrule

Systems and method for attaching optical elements to a multi-fiber ferrule. The method may include the steps of acquiring a ferrule having a plurality of holes and an output side; providing an optical element having a flat surface such that an orientation of the flat surface of the optical element is facing the output side of the ferrule within a predetermined tolerance; applying an adhesive to the flat surface of the optical element or the output side of the ferrule, the adhesive selected to match the refractive index of the optical element; moving at least one of the optical element and the ferrule with a controlled velocity and acceleration such that the flat surface of the optical element pushes against all of the protruding fibers; and curing the applied adhesive to attach the optical element to the ferrule.

No-polish optical element attachment for optical fiber ferrule

Systems and methods are provided for controlling optical connectors. A float mechanism for controlling an optical connector can include a pin, a first and a second shaft assembly, and a base. The base can include a first and a second cantilever, and a housing, that defines an opening for receiving the pin. The base can receive the two shaft assemblies. The float mechanism can further include a tab with multiple surfaces and be configured to receive the pin.
