Abstract
An angled coupling for optical fibers can comprise a body () having an incoming aperture () and an outgoing aperture (), from which an incoming hollow waveguide () and an outgoing hollow waveguide () extend into the body at an angle (). A reflective surface () is situated at the vertex of the angle and is oriented substantially perpendicular to a bisector of the angle. The coupling also comprises an incoming coupling structure () and an outgoing coupling structure (), each configured to attach an optical fiber to the corresponding aperture.
