DEFINITION

Classification: 385/88

Optical fiber to a nonfiber optical device connector:

(under subclass 53) Subject matter wherein a device for mechanically joining a fiber to an additional optical device is recited.

(1) Note. Typical nonfiber optical devices could include semiconductor lasers, LED's, photodiodes, etc. However, where significant detail to the nonfiber device is recited, classification is elsewhere. See SEARCH CLASS notes below.
