ABSTRACT:
The specification describes a connector assembly for interconnecting lightwave waveguide arrays to lightwave fiber arrays. It uses passive alignment means in the form of grooves and pins. The grooves and pins are formed in a precise dimensional relationship with the light path in the two halves of the assembly so that when the pins are inserted into the v-grooves the lightguides align precisely.
