Abstract
A coupling configuration for connecting an optical conductor to an opto-receiver has a parabolic mirror or a spherical mirror that reflects light emerging from the optical conductor onto a launching mirror through which the light is launched into the opto-receiver. Such a configuration is largely adjustment-free and therefore particularly suitable for the connection of single-mode fibers (SMF).
