A monolithic optical coupling module for coupling a light beam is disclosed.
The
optical coupling module has a light beam input portion, a light beam output portion
and at least one integrally formed light beam attenuator between the light beam
input portion and the light beam output portion. The monolithic optical coupling
module may be unitarily fabricated of a moldable polymeric material. The light
beam attenuator may be a roughened surface or a roughened internal portion. A method
for forming the monolithic optical coupling module is also disclosed.
