Modular laser connector packaging system and method

Abstract:

A module for optically and structurally coupling a light diffusion optical fiber to a laser diode on a substrate in a compact module includes a fiber holder into which an exposed core of the laser extends and which is placed about the laser on a substrate such that the laser and fiber are axially aligned in butt coupled relation. A resilient strain relief housing is secured about the light receiving end of the fiber, and the fiber holder and substrate are inserted into the housing in a secured in a water sealing engagement.
