Abstract:
1. An optical port, the optical port comprising: a fiber receptacle; and a two-surfaced optically transparent solid piece of molded material monolithically integrated with the fiber receptacle, the first surface comprising a refractive lens, the second surface comprising a diffractive surface, the refractive lens configured to receive and bend a divergent optical signal into a convergent optical signal that passes through the optically transparent solid piece of molded material toward the diffractive surface, all rays of the convergent optical signal being on respective convergent paths, the diffractive surface configured to receive and bend the convergent optical signal into a second divergent optical signal that is output from the diffractive surface into the fiber receptacle, wherein all rays of the second divergent optical signal are on respective divergent paths as the divergent optical signal enters the fiber receptacle.
