ABSTRACT:
A light transmitting/receiving module comprising a fiber assembly and a light source is provided. The fiber assembly includes a fiber, a ferrule, and a rigid tube. The fiber has an end segment, wherein the end segment has a slanted end surface. The ferrule covers the end segment and exposes the slanted end surface. An axis of the end segment in the ferrule has an included angle with an axis of the other part of the fiber. Additionally, the rigid tube covers the fiber and the ferrule, and an axis of the rigid tube is parallel to the axis of the other part of the fiber. The light source is disposed beside the slanted end surface and emits a light, wherein the light is emitted to the slanted end surface in a direction parallel to the axis of the rigid tube. The light transmitting/receiving module has an optimal light coupling efficiency.
