An expanded beam optical fibre connector comprises at least one lens/optical fibre alignment assembly including an outer member having a main bore (2) therein which accommodates a freely fitting sphero lens (3) or other lens means for producing an expanded beam and an optical fibre terminating ferrule (4) which is a sliding fit in the main bore (2). The fibre terminating end of the ferrule (4) abuts against one end of a spacer/alignment member which is aslo a sliding fit in the main bore. The spacer/alignment member has a suitably shaped recess for seating of the lens means to provide active alignment and the requisite spacing between the ferrule terminated end face of the optical fibre and the lens means. The freely fitting lens and sliding fit of the spacer and ferrule facilitates the ready removal of the lens means, spacer member and ferrule from the main bore.

Connecteur de fibre optique à faisceau élargi comprenant au moins une lentille/ensemble d'alignement de fibre optique qui comporte un élément externe pourvu d'un alésage principal (2) dans lequel vient se loger une lentille (3) sphérique ajustée librement ou une autre lentille, pour produire un faisceau élargi et une ferrure/virole terminant la fibre optique (4) à ajustement par coulissement dans l'alésage principal (2). L'extrémité terminale de la fibre de la ferrure (4) vient en butée contre l'une des extrémités d'un élément d'espacement/alignement qui est également à ajustement par coulissement dans l'alésage principal. L'élément d'espacement/alignement possède un évidement de forme appropriée permettant de positionner la lentille de manière à obtenir un alignement actif et l'espacement requis entre la face de l'extrémité se terminant par la ferrure de la fibre optique et la lentille. La lentille ajustée librement et l'ajustement par coulissement de l'élément d'espacement et de la ferrure permettent de faciliter le retraiit de la lentille, de l'élément d'espacement et de la ferrure de l'alésage principal.
