ABSTRACT:
A detachable fiber optic connector provides connection from an optical source or sink through a hermetic connection to a removable attached optical fiber. Ferrules and a split ring are used for alignment. A variety of alternative embodiments are illustrated for providing coupling force between the ferrules and retaining forces to prevent movement of the connection during movement of the fiber relative to the optical source or sink. These detachable fiber optic connectors provide great benefit when combined with hermetic packaging.
