ABSTRACT:
In one example, an optical device includes a body having a first surface and a second surface. At least a portion of the body is formed from a material that is transmissible to light. The body is configured to be positioned in an optical sub-assembly along an axis defined between an optoelectronic transducer and a port configured to receive an optical fiber. The axis is defined between a point on an optically active portion of the optoelectronic transducer and a point on a surface of the optical fiber. The first surface of the body is positioned at a first angle relative to a plane that is perpendicular to the axis. The second surface of the body is positioned at a second angle relative to the plane. The first surface and the second surface are positioned at respective opposing ends of the body.
