ABSTRACT:
A terminal for an optical waveguide includes a connector having a longitudinal bore in which an end of an optical waveguide is to be anchored, lens means for transmitting light from one end of the waveguide and defining a recess including a focal point of the lens means, and a housing in which the connector and lens means are mounted. The terminal also includes an elongate optical member having first and second ends with respective end faces, the first end of the elongate optical member extending partially through the connector and being anchored therein, and the second end of the elongate optical member being mounted in the recess in the lens means with its end face disposed at the focal point of the lens means. The connector includes means for maintaining the first end of the optical member and an end of an optical waveguide in alignment with one another.
