ABSTRACT:
Rapid interconnection between electro-optical elements and optical fibers is provided by a two-piece coupler. One element consists of a light conducting fiber within a rigid support tube which is secured both to the electro-optical element support and to the electro-optical element cap. The other element consists of a dual diameter connector tube which fits over the support tube at one end and accommodates an optical fiber at the other end. Insertion of the optical fiber within the connector tube provides close optical coupling between the electro-optical element and the optical fiber by means of the light conducting fiber within the support tube.
