Patent ID: 7600925

Claim:
An optical communication coupling system for use in a device, the optical communication coupling system comprising: an optical fiber capable of conveying light between a first optical communication element and a second optical communication element; and a clip connector capable of receiving and retaining the optical fiber and, as part of receiving the optical fiber, altering the optical fiber to create an access point, the access point allows for a transfer of the light between the optical fiber and one of the first optical communication element and the second optical communication element, while the optical fiber is being retained by the clip connector; wherein the clip connector comprises an abrasive surface capable of abrading a first surface of the optical fiber, and wherein the first surface is in contact with at least one of the first optical communication element and the second optical communication element; and wherein the clip connector includes an intruding surface, where a second surface of the optical fiber opposite to the first surface of the optical fiber is intruded through contact with the intruding surface of the clip connector in connection with the clip connector receiving the optical fiber, and wherein the second surface deflects the light inside the optical fiber.
