ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides for a fiberoptic connector device which has low back reflection with little increase in insertion loss. The connector device includes an end section of the optical fiber, a ferrule holding the end section, an optical fiber section in the ferrule, and a housing holding the ferrule. The end of the optical fiber terminates in the ferrule and the optical fiber section is coaxially aligned with the end section in the ferrule between the end of the optical fiber and an end of the ferrule. The optical fiber section has one end in close proximity to the end of the optical fiber and its other end terminates with the end of the ferrule. The end of the optical fiber is slanted and covered with antireflection material. The proximate end of the optical fiber section is slanted reciprocally and also covered with antireflection material.
