Optical fiber connector
0399212-59
[DEFINITION]
A connector for optical fibers.
[DESCRIPTION]
An important theme with the optical fiber is how to reduce the optical
loss at joints. Therefore the fibers have to be aligned accurately. By
micromachining technology, especially by anisotropic etching of silicon,
V grooves of precise shape and dimensions can be fabricated, which serves
as common mounting base for two fibers to be connected.
