  • Method and device for producing an optical coupling element made of elastomer
    Patent number: 10300636
    Abstract: A method for producing an optical coupling element made of elastomer includes filling a free-flowing elastomer formulation or its constituents into a mold so as to produce a flat sheet whose thickness is adapted to a thickness of the optical coupling element that is to be produced. The elastomer formulation or its constituents is cured to form an inherently stable elastomer. Individual optical coupling elements are cut out of the flat sheet.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 18, 2016
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2019
    Assignee: PMA/TOOL AG
    Inventors: Dominik Coenen, Detlef Westerburg
