我们提出并演示了一种光纤物理接触连接器。该连接器将多根裸光纤分别排列在微孔中，利用光纤自身的屈曲力实现物理接触。原型是注塑成型的塑料，尺寸为7/spl times/24/spl times/3 mm，用于8根光纤，间距为0.25 mm。单模光纤的平均插入损耗和回波损耗在0.2dB以下和60 dB以上。这些损失在环境试验中是稳定的。
We have proposed and demonstrated a fiber physical contact connector. This connector aligns multiple bare fibers in microholes individually and realizes physical contact by using the buckling force of the fibers themselves. The prototype is injection molded plastic and has a size of 7/spl times/24/spl times/3 mm for 8 fibers at a 0.25-mm pitch. The average insertion and return losses for single-mode fibers are under 0.2 dB and over 60 dB. These losses are stable in environmental tests.
