  • Patent number: 12535639
    Abstract: An optical assembly for demultiplexing wavelength channels includes a retro-reflecting Z-block of optically transmissive material having a port facing face and a back face. An optical port assembly including an array of channel ports and a common port is proximate to the port facing face. An array of optical filters is located along the port facing face in an optical alignment with respective optical ports. The filters are configured to selectively transmit light of corresponding wavelength channels. The back face of the retro-reflecting Z-block includes a main reflective surface between first and second angled reflective surfaces. The first and second angled reflective surfaces together form a retroreflector for light entering the retro-reflective Z-block via the common optical port.

  • Patent number: 12242116
    Abstract: An optical connector includes a fiber positioning assembly and a frame having two walls for supporting the fiber positioning assembly in a controlled vertical alignment relative to the frame. The fiber positioning assembly includes an optical fiber array disposed at a top surface of a support block for positioning between the walls, and a cap covering top portions of the optical fibers projecting from the block. The cap has a flat alignment surface resting upon the fiber top portions and extending laterally beyond the support block such that when the block is disposed between the walls, free portions of the alignment surface rest upon the walls to control the vertical alignment of the array. A single rail affixed to a bottom shelf of the frame, and a correspondingly dimensioned rectangular notch at the bottom of the support block, control the horizontal alignment of the array.
