Koppelanordnung fuer Lichtwellenleiter

DE 102009013355 A1 UPAB: 20101002 NOVELTY - The arrangement has a base body (14) provided with a feed through (13) for an optical waveguide. The optical waveguide is led by the feed through in a region of ends, and includes a core (11) and a cladding (12). The optical waveguide is partly metalized in region of the feed through on the cladding. An electroplating (15) is in thermal contact with the base body. An optical reflector (16) is arranged between ends of the optical waveguide and the feed through. The optical reflector encloses the optical waveguide, and reflects scattered radiation. USE - Coupling arrangement for an optical waveguide i.e. optical fiber. ADVANTAGE - The optical waveguide is partly metalized in the region of the feed through on the cladding, and the electro plating is in the thermal contact with the base body, thus reducing cost, and achieving higher performances. The micro drilling is performed such that the electro plating is preferably located in direct contact with the inner wall of the feed through, thus providing an additional heat conducting medium between electroplating and the inner wall of the feed through to improve the heat conducting contact
