The disclosure describes a method for assembling an optical coupler, the method may include (a) inserting optical fibers of an array of optical fibers through an array of openings of a mount of the optical coupler so that tips of the optical fibers pass through the array of openings of the mount and reach an adaptor; wherein the array of openings of the mount exhibit a first positioning accuracy; (b) using the adaptor to position the tips of the optical fibers at predefined locations, at a second positioning accuracy that is higher than the first positioning accuracy; (c) fixing the tips of the optical fibers to the mount while maintaining the tips of the optical fibers at the predefined locations; and (d) detaching the mount from the adaptor.

Optical coupler and a method for assembling an optical coupler

A method for passively coupling an optical fiber to an optoelectronic chip, the method may include connecting the optical fiber to an optical cable interface of a first portion of an optical coupler; wherein the optical coupler further comprises a second portion; wherein the first portion comprises first optics that comprises a first lens array, an optical cable interface and three contact elements, each contact element has a spherical surface; and wherein the second portion comprises second optics that comprise a second lens array, and three elongated grooves; connecting the optical coupler to a substrate that supports the optoelectronic chip; and mechanically coupling the first portion to the second portion by aligning the three contact elements of the first portion with the three elongated grooves of the second portion thereby an optical axis related to a first lens array of the first portion passes through a point of intersection between longitudinal axes of the three elongated grooves, and an optical axis related to the second lens array passes through the point of intersection.

Device and method for heat dissipation

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.
