Abstract
An optical fiber securing device may include a passage, an optical fiber seat, and a boundary portion. The passage may have an entrance and an exit, the passage configured to receive therein an optical fiber inserted through the entrance, as well as an epoxy. An epoxy path may be provided as a pathway between an epoxy well and the passage. The optical fiber seat may be configured to receive at least a portion of the optical fiber, the optical fiber seat configured to position an end of the optical fiber in optical alignment with a lens. The boundary portion may define an upper boundary of the passage at the exit of the passage, and is configured to restrain epoxy received within the passage such that the epoxy does not become interposed between the end of the optical fiber and the lens.
