  • Publication number: 20160147021
    Abstract: A terminus for a fiber optic cable includes a ferrule. In one embodiment, an optical fiber of the cable passes through a central bore of the ferrule and is attached to a lens seated in a conical or cylindrical seat formed in an end surface of the ferrule by an epoxy. In a second embodiment, an optical fiber of the cable passes through the central bore of the ferrule. Next, a cap sleeve with a lens therein is slid over and attached to the ferrule such that the lens abuts or is attached to the optical fiber. In either embodiment, an inspection slot may optionally be formed in the ferrule and/or the cap sleeve to allow a technician to inspect the state of the attachment and/or abutment and/or spacing of the optical fiber and the lens.

  • Patent number: 7809035
    Abstract: The apparatus includes a diode laser and a current source interconnected with the diode laser. Two independent circuits in the current source are configured to limit current flowing through the diode laser. A first current limiter circuit configured to limit a current output from the current source to an anode of the diode laser, and an independent second current limiter circuit configured to limit a current return from a cathode of the diode laser to the current source so that laser output power does not exceed a specified maximum regardless of a single fault in either the first or second current limiter circuits.

  • Publication number: 20070230525
    Abstract: One embodiment relates to an optical navigation apparatus which provides fault-tolerant limitation of laser output power. The apparatus includes a diode laser and a current source interconnected with the diode laser. Two independent circuits in the current source are configured to limit current flowing through the diode laser. Another embodiment relates to a method of providing fault-tolerant limitation of laser output power in an optical navigation apparatus. A first digital current limit value is converted to a first analog signal, and the first analog signal is used to limit an electrical current from a power supply connection to an anode of a diode laser. A second digital current limit value is converted to a second analog signal, and the second analog signal is used to limit an electrical current from a cathode of the diode laser to a ground connection. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
