Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A unitary fiber optic ferrule reflects light off an interior lens and through the fiber optic ferrule. Optical fibers can be easily secured in the unitary fiber optic ferrule. An adapter to secure the unitary fiber optic ferrule to a optical component assembly is also presented. The adapter provides a sealing function for the lenses and to provide routing for optical fibers from other assemblies of unitary fiber optic ferrules and adapters.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. An adapter to hold and align a unitary fiber optic ferrule comprising: a main body having a front end, a back end, and an opening extending from the front end through the back end to receive the unitary fiber optic ferrule being inserted through the back end; a first projection extending downward from the front end and orthogonal to the opening; a second projection extending downward from the back end and orthogonal to the opening; and a cover portion extending…
