Abstract: A waveguide support and reflector member is provided for optically connecting a first optical component having at least one optical waveguide including an optical axis with a second optical component. The waveguide support and reflector member includes a body having a waveguide retention section and a reflector section. The waveguide retention section is configured to support the first optical component and defines an optical plane along which each optical waveguide is disposed upon positioning the optical component at the waveguide retention section. The reflector section has an optical reflector surface aligned with the optical plane and is configured to optically connect the at least one optical waveguide with the second optical component. An optical assembly incorporating a waveguide support and reflector member and a sheet metal blank for forming a waveguide support and reflector member are also provided. An in-line waveguide support and alignment member is further provided.

Abstract: Optical waveguide termination module assemblies include a plurality of optical fibers with each having a retained first portion and a movable second portion. The movable second portions are configured to be mounted on an optical waveguide member. Optical assemblies and methods of forming the optical assemblies with the optical waveguide termination module assemblies are also disclosed.
