Abstract

We examine the mechanical response of an optical fiber interconnect clamped (by epoxy bonding or soldering) at the ends and then subjected to a not-very-small lateral ends off-set. The term “not-very-small” is used here to indicate that the off-set is small enough to apply the elementary (linear) beam theory, but, at the same time, is large enough, so that the effect of the reactive tension has to be accounted for. The obtained results can assist a reliability engineer to make, if necessary, the appropriate changes in the photonic package design.
