ABSTRACT:
A micro-optic fiber device is provided with independent counter-bore tubes and coupling tubes serving as couplers for coupling the optical processing elements, micro lenses and the fiber pigtails. The micro-optic fiber device can be built using direct coupling manner, wherein the optical processing element is firstly inserted and fixed in the step groove of the counter-bore tube by applying bonding agent between the outer periphery of the optical processing element and the inner surface of the step groove, and then the counter-bore tube is coupled with the coupling tubes, thus eliminating the need of using bonding agent between the optical processing element and the micro lenses and preventing the bonding agent from diffusing and spreading over the optical path.
