An optoelectronic device and a method for assembling an optoelectronic device are provided which obviate the need for providing additional structural elements only for aligning purposes, thus reducing the costs and effort for manufacturing the optoelectronic device. An optoelectronic substrate is mounted on a mounting surface of a mounting substrate; a coupling region of the optoelectronic device faces a reflection element. A fiber endpiece is arranged at a mounting distance from the mounting surface, the mounting distance being larger than a distance of the coupling region from the mounting surface. The mounting surface is exposed and free of any further substrates, layers or structures for mechanically connecting or contacting the optical fiber. A fiber portion which is arranged at a distance from the fiber endpiece contacts a glue droplet arranged on or above the mounting surface of the mounting substrate.

An arrangement for processing at least one optical fiber that includes a first processing element and a second processing element for processing at least one optical waveguide. The first and second processing elements have a common base element and a common actuating element for simultaneously actuating the first and second processing elements. The actuating element is capable of moving relative to the base element.

Arrangement for processing optical waveguides

An apparatus for processing an optical waveguide includes a stripper, a cleaner, a cleaver, a sensor, and an actuator assembly. The stripper is adapted to remove an outer coating of a part of an optical waveguide. The cleaner is adapted to clean the part of the optical waveguide and includes a means for cleaning the part of the optical waveguide. The cleaver is adapted to cleave the optical waveguide. The sensor is configured for determining a feature of the optical waveguide. The actuator assembly is configured to move the optical waveguide with respect to at least one of the stripper, the cleaner, and the cleaver. Further, the actuator assembly includes a means for moving the optical waveguide and a means for clamping the optical waveguide.

Apparatus and method for processing an optical waveguide

A device for converting light transmitted by an optical transmission element into an electrical signal. Light is decoupled from a coiled or helically bent fiber and coupled into distributed over photovoltaic cells rather than concentrated at a small coupling location.

A hybrid optical fiber connector tool is capable of cleaving an optical fiber inserted into the connector tool. The connector tool includes an inner housing, an outer housing that is rotatable with respect to the inner housing, and an optical fiber cutting component. The connector tool is useful for connecting and cutting optical fiber in the field.

An apparatus for splicing of optical waveguide sections is in the form of a handheld splicer. The splicer comprises a preprocessing unit, which may comprise a plurality of processing devices for carrying out removal, cleaning and cutting steps. The optical waveguide sections are clamped in a holding apparatus and are prepared in the preprocessing unit. The holding apparatuses are inserted with the prepared optical waveguide sections into a splicing unit, where they are spliced. The spliced optical waveguide sections can be fed by means of a transfer station to a shrinking oven for shrinking a shrink sleeve on. The preprocessing unit, the splicing unit and the shrinking oven can be controlled by means of one hand of an operator, while the splicer is held with the other hand.

A multipart end-piece adaptor that holds a fiber for stripping, cleaning and splicing that converts into a protective housing for the spliced fiber includes a first adaptor part having a guide sleeve and a second adaptor part that cooperates with the first adaptor part, the second adaptor part having a stripping apparatus. The second adaptor part can be a consumable that, once actuated and removed to strip the fiber, cut the fiber and clean the fiber in one action may be discarded. A further adaptor part engages two first adaptor parts with a guide opening for a coated optical fiber to form a protective housing around the spliced optical fiber.

An apparatus for processing at least one optical waveguide comprises a combination of a stripper, a cleaner and a cleaver. The stripper, the cleaner and the cleaver are adapted to remove a coating of the optical waveguide, clean and cleave the at least one optical waveguide.

A splicing device for optical fibers comprises a programmable splicing apparatus which can be controlled by means of at least one program parameter, for connecting optical fibers, and a speech recognition unit. Spoken text is detected via the speech recognition unit, and a spoken command is determined from the detected spoken text. The at least one program parameter of the splicing apparatus is adjusted and/or the splicing apparatus is controlled as a function of the determined spoken command.

Splicing device for optical fibers and method for operating a splicing device for optical fibers

An apparatus for splicing optical waveguides has a memory circuit in which data items which identify a state of the apparatus for splicing the optical waveguides are stored. The memory circuit is used to store data items which identify a state of the optical waveguides to be spliced. Stored data items indicate conditions of the environment in which a splice process has been carried out. The apparatus can be used to record a plurality of data items which can be evaluated for analysis of a splice process, in particular for an analysis of a fault which has occurred during the splice process.

The invention concerns an optical fiber splicing device (LWL-SPG) for substance-determined connection of optical fibers (F, F) by means of an electric corona discharge (GEG). A corona discharge guide (LBF, LBF, LBF) is arranged over the electrodes (E, E) for the stabilization of the conditions during the splicing process.

An optical coupling device for injecting light between two optical waveguide end faces, it being possible to vary the geometrical position of one optical waveguide end face with respect to the other optical waveguide end face with the aid of a variable-length element. The element bears one of the two optical waveguides, and is fixed to the other optical waveguide via holding blocks. The variable-length element or the holding device is held by a spring element, which is supported directly or indirectly on at least one of the holding blocks and permits movement of the variable-length element or the holding element in the longitudinal direction of the variable-length element in which the variable-length element extends or shortens, and suppresses movement of the variable-length element perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the variable-length element, the fiber being held on the other optical waveguide by the spring element close to the fixing of the holding blocks.
