ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber lens-connector assembly includes a plastic lens body joined to a tubular connector of a low thermal expansion glass. The connector includes a glass fiber guide formed of the same material (e.g., a borosilicate glass) having a substantially similar expansion coefficient. The assembly provides greater temperature stability when cycled over a wide temperature range. Fused silica quartz can also be employed as the connector material.
