ABSTRACT:
Optical interconnectors and methods for optically interconnecting structures, such as printed circuit boards. The optical interconnectors comprise at least two optical fibers having one end embedded in a structure such as a printed circuit board and at least one sleeve for housing termination portions of two optical fibers. The termination portions of the fibers are positioned and secured within the sleeve so that end surfaces of the optical fibers are abutted together. The resulting optical interconnectors have low loss and occupy a small amount of space while maintaining a flat profile.
