Abstract
An apparatus for providing single mode optical signal coupling between an opto-electronic transceiver and a single mode optical fiber array takes the form of a lens array and a ferrule component. The lens array includes a plurality of separate lens element disposed to intercept a like plurality of single mode optical output signal from the opto-electronic transceiver and provide as an output a focused version thereof. The ferrule component includes a plurality of single mode fiber stubs that are passively aligned with the lens array and support the transmission of the focused, single mode optical output signals towards the associated single mode optical fiber array.
