Optical fiber block assembly for minimizing stress concentration and contacting device therewith
The present invention discloses an optical-fiber-block assembly for minimizing stress concentration. The optical-fiber-block assembly is comprised of a fiber-alignment area mounted with a plurality of V-grooves at which optical fibers are disposed and a stress-relief-depth area extending from the fiber-alignment area and formed by etching the fiber-alignment area deeper by a predetermined amount, for relieving stress that is caused by the coating thickness of the fiber, wherein the fiber-alignment area further includes: (a) a first fiber-alignment area having a first V-grooves with a constant width for receiving the bare fibers, such that the first fiber-alignment area do not contact the external side of the bare fiber, and (b) a second fiber-alignment area having a second V-grooves with a constant width extending from the first V-grooves for receiving the bare fiber, wherein the width of the first V-grooves is substantially wider than the width of the second V-grooves.
