    • A method and apparatus for connecting optical fibers to waveguides and other optical elements are disclosed. In one embodiment, an optical fiber is modified so as to have opposing orthogonal tapered sidewalls that taper toward a tip of the fiber. An optical connector for the fiber includes a base having a receiving section and a waveguide formed therein. The receiving section is a flared channel having opposing orthogonal tapered sidewalls and a horizontal bottom surface perpendicular to the sidewalls. The waveguide is optically accessible at a narrow inner end of the channel. The angle of taper of the sidewalls of the channel matches the angle of taper of the sidewalls of the optical fiber. When the optical fiber is inserted into the open end of the channel and is moved toward the narrow inner end of the channel, the sidewalls of the fiber and channel come into contact with each other. In addition, a bottom surface of the fiber rests on the horizontal bottom surface of the channel. The tip of the fiber is positioned adjacent to the waveguide in precise alignment along the x, y, and z axes. The optical fiber is thereby positioned for optical communication through the waveguide with another optical fiber, a light source, or a light receiving element positioned at an opposite end of the waveguide.
    • 公开了一种将光纤连接到波导和其它光学元件的方法和装置。 在一个实施例中,光纤被修改为具有朝向纤维的尖端逐渐变细的相对的正交锥形侧壁。 用于光纤的光学连接器包括具有形成在其中的接收部分和波导的基座。 接收部分是具有相对的正交锥形侧壁和垂直于侧壁的水平底表面的扩口通道。 波导在通道的窄内端处是光学可访问的。 通道的侧壁的锥度角与光纤的侧壁的锥度角相匹配。 当光纤插入通道的开口端并朝向通道的窄内端移动时,光纤和通道的侧壁彼此接触。 此外,纤维的底面位于通道的水平底面上。 纤维的尖端沿着x,y和z轴精确对准地定位在波导附近。 因此,光纤被定位成通过波导与另一个光纤,光源或位于波导的相对端的光接收元件进行光通信。
