ABSTRACT:
An optical assembly includes a fiber optic pigtail, a sleeve in which the pigtail is housed, a collimating lens, a rod upon which is mounted an optical device and a lens sleeve in which the lens and rod are housed. Bonding lines bond the rod and lens to the lens sleeve, the pigtail to the pigtail sleeve, and the pigtail sleeve to the lens sleeve. The optical assembly and method of fabrication thereof support multiple optical device geometries, longitudinal adjustment of the position of the optical device within the optical assembly, an extended bonding line between the optical device and the environment outside the optical assembly, full x-y-z positioning of the pigtail relative to the lens and reduced reliance on bonding line thickness irregularities.
