ABSTRACT:
In a disconnectable low-loss optical connection for optical fibers, each fiber in a pair of optical fibers is surrounded by a connector body to the conical frustum mating end of which is applied a tiny, transparent, flexible index matching dome of silicone rubber or equivalent material. The connector bodies are held together by mating to each other or to a common alignment receptacle having conically hollow receiving surfaces, so that the fiber ends are aligned and the domes touch and flex completing the optical connection.
