Title:
OPTICAL CONNECTOR AND OPTICAL COUPLER USED FOR THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3540834
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To provide an optical coupler of a simple structure with high assembly accuracy and an optical connector for efficiently connecting an arbitrarily arranged optoelectric device(OED) and an optical fiber transmission line by using it.
CONSTITUTION: This optical connector 10 is a device for optically connecting a light emission/reception device (OED) 30 connected to a substrate 15 along with a related circuit element and the optical fiber transmission line. Preferably, the OED 30 is surface-mounted to the surface 17 of the substrate 15 and the transmission axis X of the optical fiber transmission line is in almost parallel relation with the surface 17 of the substrate 15. In order to connect the light emission/reception surface 35 of the OED 30 and the transmission axis X of the optical fiber transmission line in optical operation relation, preferably, the optical coupler or an optical axis change means 150 formed by integral molding is arranged between them. Thus, the OED 30 and the optical fiber transmission line are highly accurately connected with the high degree of freedom.
