Abstract
An optoelectronic device separation apparatus may include a first and second clamp members configured to grip coaxial portions of an optoelectronic device. In one embodiment, the clamp members grip a housing portion and a fiber pigtail portion, respectively. The clamp members are configured to rotate relative to each other about an axis that is generally coaxial with the axis of the coaxial portions of the optoelectronic device. A force may be applied to the clamp members to provide such rotation, thereby causing the coaxial portions of the optoelectronic device to separate, for example, along weld points coupling the portions of the optoelectronic device together. Of course, many alternatives, variations and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.
