ABSTRACT:
An optical connector is disclosed which comprises a polarization-maintaining optical fiber inserted into an oval hole in a ferrule and fixed in the hole by an adhesive. The major axis of the oval hole coincides with the direction in which stress is applied to the polarization-maintaining optical fiber and the minor axis of the hole is approximately equal to the diameter of the polarization-maintaining optical fiber.
