    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a test probe by which an optical device can be tested at high speed and efficiently. SOLUTION: An optical testing apparatus comprises an optical fiber having a first numerical aperture at the front end part of the optical fiber. A positioning structure is attached to the optical fiber so that the first end part of the optical fiber is moved up to an arbitrary part on a substrate in order to test the optical device. The optical device can be arranged and installed in an arbitrary position on the substrate, and it supplies a light beam at an emission angle smaller than the first numerical aperture. A test head condenses the light beam via the optical fiber in order to test the optical device. Also a method in which the optical fiber is positioned in order to test the optical device is disclosed.

    Abstract: BIDIRECTIONAL GUIDED MODE OPTICAL FILM-FIBER COUPLER An optical structure for the bidirectional coupling of light between each of a multiplicity of optical fibers and corresponding individual thin-film waveguides to achieve a leaky wave coupling from one guided mode structure to a second guided mode structure. The structure is particularly suited for fabrication by planar deposition and etching techniques and features the precise axial alignment of the optical elements by inserting the fibers in etched V-grooves in the substrate upon which are deposited the waveguides.

    Abstract: MAGNETIC FIBER OPTIC CASTING APPARATUS A mold having a vee-shaped groove receives an optical fiber end in butted relationship with either another fiber end or with a mold wall surface which is perpendicular to the vee-shaped groove. Field forces are generated which urge unattached and disposable fiber seating elements into the groove, the seating elements in turn pushing the optical fiber end(s) into the groove until the side surface of the optical fiber end(s) arc in tangential contact with both sides of the vee-shaped groove. While the optical fiber end(s) are so positioned, casting liquid is introduced into the vee-shaped groove. The seating elements remain within the casting. YO979-041

    Abstract: An optical assembly structure wherein miniature optical components such as lasers, modulators, lenses, thin-film and fiber-optic waveguides, and photodetectors are critically aligned and supported for coactive operation by means of two or more wafers which are formed with complementary grooves and mortises to support the loose optical components such as lenses and fiber-optic waveguides and to receive alignment rails to insure the relativity of the wafers, which also have formed integral therewith optical elements such as waveguides, modulators, and lasers, to produce an integrated optical assembly somewhat in the manner of an "optical bench," wherein the bench structure also provides an active optical element.
