Abstract:
A coupling unit includes a light coupling element comprising an attachment area for receiving and permanently attaching to a plurality of optical waveguides. One or more grooves are provided at the attachment area. Each groove is configured to receive an optical waveguide and defined by a bottom surface, a first region, a second region, and an opening. The first region is defined between the bottom surface and the second region. The first region in cross section has substantially parallel sidewalls separated by a spacing. The second region is disposed between the first region and the opening. A width of the opening is greater than the spacing.

Claim (Index 21):
A coupling unit, comprising:\n a light coupling element comprising an attachment area for receiving and permanently attaching to a plurality of optical waveguides; one or more grooves provided at the attachment area, each groove configured to receive an optical waveguide having a width; each groove having a first region and a bottom surface, the first region in cross section having substantially parallel sidewalls separated by a spacing; and each groove having a longitudinal transition section comprising a first end and a second end, the first end having a sidewall spacing greater than the width of the optical waveguide, and the second end having a sidewall spacing less than the width of the optical waveguide.
