  • Arrayed multi-fiber connector
    Patent number: 7630609
    Abstract: A system and method for segmenting a plurality of optical fibers to form an arrayed multi-fiber optical connector. In one example embodiment, the present innovations include an optical connector that has a plurality of optical fibers arranged into a two-dimensional array, the optical fibers being segmented by a laser emitting substantially in the infra-red spectrum. The optical fibers are preferably segmented after having been positioned on a substrate that becomes part of the connector.

  • Thermal shaping of optical fibers
    Patent number: 6413450
    Abstract: A method for shaping an optical fiber with various geometries while minimizing unwanted artifacts in the core of the optical fiber. The method facilitates control of sag in the region of the core that is exposed to a beam of optical energy. The sag is reduced, if not eliminated, by maintaining the cross-sectional area of the core that is exposed to the beam at thermal equilibrium.
