Abstract
An optical coupling lens includes a body portion, two locating posts, and two converging portions. The body portion includes a first surface, a second surface perpendicular to the first surface, and a reflecting surface obliquely interconnected between the first surface and the second surface. The first surface defines two light-passing recesses. The locating posts perpendicularly extend from the first surface. The converging portions are formed on the second surface and correspond to the light-passing recesses. The reflecting surface is configured for reflecting parallel light beams from one light-passing recess toward a corresponding converging portion, and for reflecting parallel light beams from one converging portion toward a corresponding light-passing recess.

An optical coupling lens comprising:
- a body portion comprising a first surface, a second surface perpendicular to the first surface, and a reflecting surface obliquely interconnected between the first surface and the second surface, the first surface defining a plurality of light-passing recess;
- two locating posts perpendicularly extending from the first surface and being apart from the light-passing recesses;
- a plurality of converging portions formed on the second surface and corresponding to the light-passing recesses, the reflecting surface configured for reflecting parallel light beams from each of the light-passing recesses toward the corresponding converging portion and for reflecting parallel light beams from each of the converging portions toward the corresponding light-passing recess.
An optical fiber coupling connector comprising:
- an optical coupling lens comprising:
- a body portion comprising a first surface, a second surface perpendicular to the first surface, and a reflecting surface obliquely interconnected between the first surface and the second surface, the first surface defining a plurality of light-passing recesses;
- two locating posts perpendicularly extending from the first surface and being apart from the light-passing recesses;
- a plurality of converging portions formed on the second surface and corresponding to the light-passing recesses, the reflecting surface configured for reflecting parallel light beams from each of the light-passing recesses toward the corresponding converging portion and reflecting parallel light beams from each of the converging portions toward the corresponding light-passing recess;
- and
- a plurality of optical fibers aligned with the respective converging portions.
