ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention are generally directed to an optical signal transmitter port. In one embodiment, the optical signal transmitter port includes a nose body having a bendable extending transmission end, and an optical signal housing having an optical source therein assembled into the nose body. The optical signal source generates an optical signal within the nose body and the bendable portion is adjusted to optimize the output of the port. Embodiments of the invention are further related to a method for assembling an optical transmitter port with minimal defects. The assembly process involves a multi-step assembly and measurement process configured to align the axis of the optical signal generated in the port with the axis of an optical signal source housing and an axis of a port nose body.
