ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides modules for interfacing optical fibers with very low light loss and with provision for monitoring of the optical signal. The modules according to the present invention are characterized by the precise tolerances required in high capacity optical communication systems and yet may be mass produced at reasonable costs. A device according to the present invention comprises a transparent imaging element having a curved reflective surface at one end and prealigned fiber insertion holes at the other end. The transparent element is characterized by an index of refraction equal to that of the fiber core, and the fibers are glued in their respective holes with index matching cement.
