“…This section discusses the deterioration in optical performance caused by the contamination of manufactured physical contact (PC)-type connectors. It has been reported that contamination on a PC-type connector may significantly degrade the performance of mated connectors [15][16][17]. In this report, contamination was found on the connector endface and the sides of the connector ferrule.…”
