Abstract
An optical connector (1) for transferring light sent by fibers (2) and comprises a resin body (10) and a plurality of first lenses (11) and second lenses (12), the resin body (10) includes a bottom surface (102), a top surface (101) opposite to the bottom surface (102), a front surface (103) connecting the top surface (101) and the bottom surface (102), a first slant surface (106) and a second slant surface (105) form an angle with the bottom surface (102), the first lenses (11) are set on the first slant surface (106), the second lenses (121) are set on the second slant surface (105), the projections of the first lenses (11) and second lenses (12) that projected on the bottom surface (102) are not aligned with each other.
Claims16
An optical connector for transferring light sent by fibers, comprising:
- a resin body including a bottom surface, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, a front surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface, a first slant surface and a second slant surface forming an angle with the bottom surface;
- and
- a row of first lenses set on the first slant surface of the resin body;
- a row of second lenses set on the second slant surface of the resin body;
- wherein
- the projections of the first lenses and second lenses that projected on the bottom surface are not aligned with each other.
An optical connector for transferring light sent by fibers, comprising:
- a resin body including a bottom surface, a top surface opposite to the bottom surface, a front surface connecting the top surface and the bottom surface, a first slant surface and a second slant surface forming an angle with the bottom surface;
- a row of first lenses set on the first slant surface of the resin body;
- a row of second lenses set on the second slant surface of the resin body;
- and
- a seat assembled with the resin body and including a plurality of fibers assembled thereon;
- wherein
- the projections of the first lenses and second lenses that projected on the bottom surface are not aligned with each other.
An optical connector comprising:
- a seat equipped with at least one row of optical fibers in a transverse direction;
- a resin body located in front of and assembled to the seat in a front-to-back direction perpendicular to said transverse direction;
- one row of first lenses located on the resin at a first level in a vertical direction perpendicular to both said transverse direction and said front-to-back direction;
- and
- one row of second lenses located on the resin at a second level in the vertical direction different from said first level, both said first lens and said second lenses being optically coupled with the optical fibers, respectively;
- wherein
- a light path performed by the first lens is opposite to that by the second lens.
