We developed a multi-fiber air-gap optical connector which does not require polishing or physical contact between fibers. The developed single-mode connector has an average IL of 0.36dB and RL of 59.3dB with anti-reflective coating.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
