Abstract
The present invention relates to a pass guide for optical fibers. The guide (120a, 120b) comprises a plurality of adjacent grooves (122) each having a width adjusted to receive a single optical fiber and a height adjusted to receive stacking of a plurality of optical fibers. Application to receiving cases for optical components.
Claims12
A case for optical components having a placement (110) for at least one optical component and provided with at least one pass guide (120) for optical fibers, characterised in that the guide comprises a plurality of adjacent grooves (122) each having a width adjusted to take up at least a single optical fiber and a height adjusted to take up a stack of a plurality of optical fibers.
The case as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the pass guide and placing of the component are separated by a distance (L) sufficient to allow spread of optical fibers between the component and the grooves of the guide with a radius of curvature greater than or equal to a determined radius Ro.
The case as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the optical component is an integrated optic component.
