ABSTRACT:
An optical coupler comprises a rigid coupling element having a concave surface defining a desired bend profile for an optical fiber, a resiliently deformable bending element having a convex surface which is complementary to the concave surface of the coupling element, and means for urging the bending element toward the coupling element so as to conform an optical fiber placed between the bending element and the coupling element to the desired bend profile. The coupling element comprises a rigid body which has the concave surface, and an optoelectronic device which is carried by the rigid body at a position and orientation for optical coupling between the optoelectronic device and an optical fiber held against the concave surface so as to conform to the desired bend profile.
