Abstract: Connectors for optical waveguide arrays (WGAs) are described herein. Some embodiments include an optical array connector that includes one component configured to mechanically connect to one WGA and another component configured to mechanically connect to another WGA. The components may be configured to removably connect to each other, mechanically connect the WGAs to each other, and optically align each waveguide of one WGA to a corresponding waveguide of the other WGA. In some embodiments, one component may be configured to expand and collimate light beams from one WGA, and the other component may be configured to focus each collimated light beam onto proximal apertures of the other WGA. Additionally, or alternatively, the components may be configured to direct the light beams via total internal reflection. In some embodiments, one or more of the components may include a microlens array and/or another WGA.
