ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides modules for interfacing optical fibers with very low light loss and with provision for monitoring of the optical signal. The modules according to the present invention are characterized by the precise tolerances required in high capacity optical communication systems and yet may be mass produced at reasonable costs. A device according to the present invention comprises an imaging element having a curved reflective surface at one end and prealigned fiber insertion holes at the other end. Various embodiments of the invention are disclosed.
