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 17):
The optical coupler of  claim 16 , wherein the position of said v-groove is registered relative to the position of said at least one waveguide of said optical device such that said at least one waveguide of said optical device is aligned with said at least one longitudinal waveguide with an optical coupling efficiency between 50% and 100%.
