Abstract

Pour réaliser une interconnexion optique, soit de deux fibres optiques entre elles, soit d'une fibre optique avec un circuit optoélectronique de conversion, on prévoit un module muni d'un corps (2) dans lequel sont surmoulés des tronçons (3) de fibres optiques. Le surmoulage permet d'une part une simplification de la fabrication industrielle et permet d'autre part d'adopter pour les tronçons de fibres optiques des formes, notamment des évasements (16, 17) et ou des lentilles (18, 19) permettant une refocalisation utile des rayons lumineux transportés par ces fibres optiques.
