CA 2272751

A self-aligned optical coupler (12) for conducting light from and to vertical and/or horizontal ports (19, 22) on optical devices or optoelectric integrated circuits. The device or circuit having the respective port has keys (28) and/or slots (27) on the device or circuit for self-aligning an end of the optical coupler (12) to the port. The end has corresponding slots (27) and/or keys (28). Visual alignment marks may be used instead so as to permit automatic alignment with machine vision devices. The coupler may have one or a plurality of waveguides (20). One of the ends of the coupler may have a connector for a self-aligning optical connection to a connector receptacle of a module or a backplane.

L'invention porte sur un coupleur optique autoaligné (12) conduisant la lumière depuis ou vers des ports verticaux et/ou horizontaux (19, 22) de dispositifs optiques ou de circuits intégrés optoélectroniques. Le dispositif ou circuit présentant les ports correspondants est muni de clefs (28) et/ou de fentes (27) permettant l'autoalignement d'une extrémité du coupleur optoélectronique (12) sur le port. L'extrémité comporte des fentes (27) et/ou clefs (28) correspondantes. Des repères d'alignement visuels peuvent s'y substituer pour permettre un alignement automatique avec des dispositifs d'instruments de vision. Le coupleur peut comporter un ou plusieurs guides d'ondes (20). L'une des extrémités du coupleur peut comporter un connecteur assurant l'autoalignement des connexions optiques sur le boîtier du connecteur d'un module ou d'un panneau arrière.
