1. Apparatus for coupling the optical energy conducted through an optical fiber surrounded by a fiber jacket to an electro-optic element positioned within a case having a substantially-planar lid comprising, in combination:

  • a) said lid including a defined region overlying said element characterized by transparency to a predetermined bandwidth of said optical energy;

    b) the terminal end of said fiber including a planar surface of reflective character for directing said optical energy in a direction substantially orthogonal to the direction of propagation of optical energy within said fiber; and

    c) means for positioning said terminal end of said fiber adjacent said lid so that said predetermined bandwidth of said optical energy is directed through said defined region and at said element.
