  • Optical fiber connector
    Patent number: 10379290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber connector arrangement that finds application in the general field of optical interconnection. The optical fiber connector arrangement (935) comprises a first optical fiber connector (922) including a first optical fiber (905) and a counterpart optical fiber connector (923) including a counterpart optical fiber (925); wherein the first optical fiber connector (922) is configured to mate with the counterpart optical fiber connector (923). The first optical fiber (905) of the first optical fiber connector (922) has a core diameter D1 and a Numerical Aperture NA1; and the counterpart optical fiber (925) of the counterpart optical fiber connector (923) has a counterpart core diameter D2 and a counterpart Numerical Aperture NA2. At least one of the ratio (D1/D2) or the ratio (NA1/NA2) either exceeds 1.15 or is less than 0.85.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2014
    Date of Patent: August 13, 2019
    Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.

  • Optical fiber connector validation
    Patent number: 10031297
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fiber connector that finds application in the general field of optical inter-connection. The optical fiber connector (1a, 1b, c) includes a body (2) having a bore (3) configured to receive an optical fiber; an alignment sleeve (4) that is arranged coaxially with the bore (3); an optical fiber (5) having an end face (6); wherein the optical fiber (5) is arranged within the bore (3). At least at the end face (6) the optical fiber connector includes an optical signature component (50, 51, 52) having a predetermined optical signature.
