ABSTRACT:
An active device mount assembly 1 comprises an interface mount 4 having front socket 9. Further included is an active device 5. The assembly 1 may also include a focusing element 6. The device 5 has an emission axis aimed along the axis of the optical focusing element. The assembly 4 further comprises a coupler element 7 aligned with the focusing element 6 and inserting into a precise depth into the socket 9 of the mount 4. Further the interface mount 4 provides means for attaching a fiber optic connector 3 where the fiber optic connector 3 has an alignment ferrule 66 and an optical fiber 10 extending therethrough. The alignment ferrule 66 abuts the coupler element 7 with the optical fiber 10 aligned to the center axis of the coupler element 7. The interface mount for attaching the fiber optic connector 36 further comprises a base 28 with an alignment sleeve 29 and at least two resilient catch pieces 30 extending from the base 28. The alignment sleeve 29 has longitudinal axis and axial bore encompassing the alignment ferrule 66 of the fiber optic connector 36. The resilient catch pieces 30 are of cantilever form extending parallel to and on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis of the alignment sleeve 29 and terminating in protrusions 32 and lip structures 33.
