Abstract:
An optical coupler array can include an elongated optical element having a coupler housing structure and at least one longitudinal waveguide embedded in said housing structure. The housing structure can have an outer cross sectional shape comprising a first side comprising one or more curved portions and a second side comprising one or more flat portions. The second side can be disposed at a distance from the at least one longitudinal waveguide such that waveguiding properties are preserved and not disturbed.

Claim (Index 8):
An optical coupler for optical coupling of at least one optical fiber waveguide to a at least one waveguide of an optical device, comprising:\n an elongated optical element having a first end operable to optically couple with said at least one optical fiber waveguide and a second end operable to optically couple with said optical device, and comprising:\n a common single coupler housing structure; and \n at least one longitudinal waveguide having a capacity for at least one optical mode, each embedded in said common single housing structure, \n wherein said common single coupler housing structure has an outer cross sectional shape comprising a first side and a second side, and \n an alignment carrier comprising one or more portions complementary with said second side of said housing structure and configured to be coupled with said second side of said housing structure such that said alignment carrier extends beyond said second side in the transverse direction on at least one side.
