ABSTRACT:
A connector for coupling a transmitting single optical fiber to a receiving single optical fiber in which the ends of the fibers are mounted in the respective ends of a bore in an alignment tube. The end faces of the fibers are spaced from each other and a restriction is formed in the bore between such end faces. The wall of the bore adjacent to each end of the restriction is tapered so that the optical beam emitted from the transmitting fiber is restricted in the restriction and thereafter reconstructed to its emitted numerical aperture prior to reaching the end face of the receiving fiber. The transmitting fiber is slidably mounted in the bore so as to be separable therefrom.
