Patent number: 9341799Abstract: The fiber optic assembly can include two fiber optic breadboards hinged to one another along a coinciding hinge axis. Each one of the fiber optic breadboards can have a flat body having two faces and lateral edges, one of which running alongside the hinge axis, and can have a tessellation of tray locations each having a tray attachment. The fiber optic assembly can also include a plurality of fiber optic trays each having a body having a base attachable to at least one of said tray attachments, the body having a size and shape associated to one of a single one of said tray locations and a plurality of adjacent ones of said tray locations on one of said at least one fiber optic breadboards, and having a structure by which an optical fiber having a critical radius of curvature can be confined within at least one optical fiber path.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2013Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: GENiA PHOTONiCS iNC.Inventors: Johannes Sander Boelen, Francois-Xavier Bertrand, Bryan Burgoyne, Alexandre Dupuis, Isabelle Gelinas
