Abstract

See full text

A bend limiting apparatus for use in an automated assembly process of optical components in a planar configuration uses bend limiting tubing and support members. Optical fibers are positioned axially within the bend limiting tubing. The bend limiting tubing is supported by a support member. The optical fibers are attached to a collimated lens assembly. The bend limiting tubing may be coupled to the optical fibers by a pliable adhesive. The bend limiting tubing may also be coupled to the support member by an adhesive such as epoxy. Furthermore, an upper portion may be utilized to provide additional support.
