A structure facilitating easy assembly of fiber-optic communication components includes a lower and an upper support being provided with small and big V-shaped cuts, respectively, for receiving optical fibers and collimators, respectively. The upper support is inverted to seat on a middle recess of the lower support, such that tangent planes passing top points of the optical fibers and the collimators are contained in horizontal planes passing openings of the small and the big V-shaped cuts, respectively, and axes of the collimators are either in alignment with or horizontally coplanar with axes of the optical fibers. The two supports together define a central positioning cavity between them for receiving different function elements, such as optical isolator, modularized filter, etc., between the collimators, so that fiber-optic communication components with reduced volume and increased reliability could be easily assembled in mass production at reduced cost.
A structure facilitating easy assembly of fiber-optic communication components, said fiber-optic communication components enabling a light beam transmitted via an input optical fiber to be coupled to a collimator to obtain a collimated beam that passes through one or more function elements before passing through a mating collimator and being coupled to an output optical fiber, so that transmission of said light beam via optical fibers is continued;
