ABSTRACT:
A packaged fiber-coupled optical device comprises an alignment housing with a fiber retainer, optical fiber segment(s), and optical component(s) (on substrate(s) with fiber groove(s)). Upon assembly the protruding end(s) of the fiber segment(s) is/are positioned against the fiber retainer, and the fiber groove(s) is/are aligned with the protruding end(s) of the fiber segment(s). The fiber retainer urges the protruding end(s) of the fiber segment(s) into the fiber groove(s). The fiber groove(s) position the protruding end(s) of the optical fiber(s) seated therein for optical coupling with optical component(s). The alignment housing and/or a fiber subassembly may be configured for engaging a mating fiber-optic connector.
