Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to sets of optical waveguides such as optical fiber ribbons and embedded optical waveguides (132a-d), and optical interconnects useful for connecting multiple optical waveguides such as in optical fiber ribbon cables and printed circuit boards having optoelectronic capabilities. In particular, the disclosure provides an efficient, compact, and reliable optical waveguide connector (100) that incorporates microlenses and re-directing elements (136a-d) which combine the features of optical waveguide alignment, along with redirecting and shaping of the optical beam.
