  • Fiber collimator coupling assembly
    Patent number: 6804435
    Abstract: An optical device has a first collimator sub-assembly having a first free-space end, and a second collimator sub-assembly having a second free-space end opposing the first free-space end of the first collimator. A central housing has first and second ends and is disposed between the first and second collimator sub-assemblies. A first ring on the first collimator sub-assembly is mounted to the first end of the central housing and a second ring on the second collimator sub-assembly is mounted to the second end of the central housing.

  • Module assembly for fiber optic isolator
    Publication number: 20040169926
    Abstract: An isolator unit includes a mount for mounting three isolator components, resulting in a smaller package. The isolator components are attached to the mount using a technique that reduces the possibility that the orientations of the components change with a change in temperature. Consequently, the operational characteristics of the isolator have a reduced temperature dependence.
