ABSTRACT:
A terminal element for fiber optic communication has an elongated body defining a body axis and having a first end from which an optical fiber extends along the body axis. The body has a second end with an angled surface offset at an angle from the body axis. The fiber extends partly through the length of the body, and terminates at a fiber end surface. The second portion has an optical entry surface registered with the fiber end surface such that light emitted from the fiber end surface enters the optical entry surface. At least one of the fiber end surface, angled surface and optical entry surface has a figured optical form with a non-planar shape.
