V-Groove Optical Coupler Diagram (FIG. 13) - Precision Fiber Alignment Mechanism #226750 (License: Personal Use)

This schematic depicts a V-groove optical coupler mechanism commonly used in photonic packaging to align optical fibers with waveguides or detectors. The diagram shows two converging angled surfaces forming a V-shaped channel (angle α), with a curved upper surface (angle β) guiding light into the coupling region; component 20 likely represents a fiber or alignment pin. Key dimensions and directional arrows indicate optical path and mechanical constraints for high-precision assembly.

Used in technical documentation, patent filings, or engineering guides for optoelectronic device manufacturing; targets engineers, researchers, and designers seeking fiber-to-chip coupling solutions.
