ABSTRACT:
Optical waveguide connectors for coupling arrays of waveguides and/or optical fibers and to methods of making the connectors. The connectors are optical waveguide or optical fiber connectors for coupling to mating optical waveguide or optical fiber connectors. Optical connector assemblies are provided which comprise optical waveguide or optical fiber connectors in combination with mating optical waveguide or optical fiber connectors. Methods of manufacturing the optical waveguide or optical fiber connectors and the optical connector assemblies are disclosed.
