ABSTRACT:
An optical waveguide such as an optical fiber extends across a semi-rigid substrate or optical back plane and is made of conformal materials having indices of refraction selected to provide substantially total internal reflection of light transmitted within a core. An optical pin is made of substantially rigid optically transmissive materials. A receptacle in the substrate or optical backplane removably receives and holds the optical pin to allow a beveled terminal end of the pin to penetrate the core of the optical fiber to establish a gap-less interface that provides an optical path between the core and the pin.
