Abstract
An optical interconnection apparatus comprises an adhesive layer having a 2-dimensional plane, and optical fibers secured on the adhesive layer. The optical fibers are routed on the adhesive layer so as to have at least one of an intersection portion, a bent portion, and a changing portion of fiber pitch, and to have a end portion outwardly projecting from the adhesive layer. The projecting end portion is used for optical interconnection. At least a portion of the circumferential edge surface of the adhesive layer is covered by a flame resistant material at an end of the optical fiber and in the vicinity thereof.
Claims20
An optical interconnection apparatus comprising:
- an adhesive layer having a 2-dimensional plane;
- and
- plural optical fibers secured on the adhesive layer;
- wherein the optical fibers are routed on the adhesive layer so as to have at least one of an intersection portion, a bent portion, and a changing portion of fiber pitch, and to have a end portion outwardly projecting from the adhesive layer;
- the projecting end portion is used for optical interconnection;
- and
- an edge-dam with flame resistance is provided at a circumference of the adhesive layer, the outer circumference of the edge-dam extends downward so as to reach a substrate, whereby the circumferential edge surface of the adhesive layer is completely covered.
