Abstract
An adjustable connector assembly for a laser effect diode, a focussing lens and an optical fibre in an optical fibre transmission system comprising a tubular body generally symetrical about the axis. One end of the tubular body, namely the front end, is provided with an adjustable diode socket assembly means including a first adjustment means at the front end and a socket means for filtering the focussing lens. The other end of the tubular body is provided with a fibre assembly means including transverse second adjustment means so that the ends of the optical fibres may be adjustably positioned in the transverse or xy plane relative to the axial direction, the Z axis of the tubular body. Thus the luminous ray or beam diverted by the diode is adjustable by the first adjustment means at the front end which can vary the position of the diode to the focussing lens in the Z divertion, e.g., axial direction, the transverse or xy adjustment at the fibre optic ends being provided by the second adjustment means at the other end of the connector. The connector is characterized in that said first adjustment means (10) comprises a first socket (21) carrying said diode (D) and secured with tigh…
