MULTI-FIBER FIBER OPTIC CONNECTORS
摘要：
Multi-fiber fiber optic connectors (22-26, 40) are described. The fiber optic connectors (22-26) enable direct board-to-board optical communication but do not require data transmission through a backplane (12). In one aspect, a fiber optic connector (40) includes a plurality of optical fibers (42) terminating at proximal and distal ends, and a flexible support (44) configured to hold the optical fibers (42) in an elongated spaced-apart three-dimensional array characterized by insignificant optical coupling between the optical fibers (42). The support (44) has a proximal end terminating at a proximal end face (46) at which the proximal ends of the optical fibers (42) terminate. The proximal end face (46) of the support (44) is sized and arranged to contact a port (88, 90, 112, 114, 134, 136, 164, 166) of an optical device (68, 102, 128, 158) whereupon one or more of the optical fibers (42) couple to the optical device (68, 102, 128, 158) through the port (88, 90, 112, 114, 134, 136, 164, 166). In another aspect, a fiber optic connector (40) includes a plurality of optical fibers (42) formed from a core material with a characteristic refractive index. The optical fibers (42) are embedded in an elongated integral support (44) formed from a flexible cladding material with refractive index that is lower than the refractive index of the core material.

描述了多纤维光纤连接器（22-26,40）。 光纤连接器（22-26）使得能够直接进行板对板光通信，但不需要通过背板（12）的数据传输。 在一个方面，光纤连接器（40）包括在近端和远端终止的多个光纤（42），以及柔性支撑件（44），其配置成将光纤（42）保持在细长间隔开的三 其特征在于光纤（42）之间的光耦合不明显。 支撑件（44）具有终端在光纤（42）的近端终止的近端面（46）处的近端。 支撑件（44）的近端面（46）的尺寸设置成接触光学装置（68,102,128,158）的端口（88,90,112,114,134,136,164,166） ），因此一个或多个光纤（42）通过端口（88,90,112,114,134,136,164,166）耦合到光学器件（68,102,128,158）。 在另一方面，光纤连接器（40）包括由具有特征折射率的芯材形成的多个光纤（42）。 光纤（42）嵌入由折射率低于芯材折射率的柔性包层材料形成的细长整体支撑件（44）中。
