Claim Text:
1. An optical-electric coupling element comprising: a lower surface defining a first cavity, the first cavity comprising a bottom portion forming a first photic zone and a second photic zone, the first photic zone comprising a plurality of first coupling lenses, the second photic zone comprising a plurality of second coupling lenses; an upper surface facing away from the lower surface, and defining a second cavity, the second cavity comprising a sloped surface directly connected to the upper surface; and a first side surface substantially perpendicularly connecting the upper surface to the lower surface, and defining a receiving cavity, the receiving cavity facing and being exposed out of the upper surface and the first side surface for receiving optical fibers, the receiving cavity comprising a vertical surface substantially perpendicular to the upper surface, the vertical surface forming a third photic zone and a fourth photic zone, the third photic zone comprising a plurality of third coupling lenses, the fourth photic zone comprising a plurality of fourth coupling lenses, each third coupling lens corresponding a respective one of the first coupling lenses, each fourth coupling lens corresponding a respective one of the second coupling lenses, and each third coupling lens corresponding to a respective one of the optical fibers dived into the receiving cavity, each fourth coupling lens corresponding to a respective one of the optical fibers dived into the receiving cavity.
