ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber lens-connector assembly includes a plastic lens body joined to a connector of a low thermal expansion metal. The connector includes a glass capillary tube formed of a 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.
