Abstract
Optical connecac 米兰官网rs will be a key element in configuring large-scale optical networks of the future, and the authors have developed super low-loss, super high-density connecac 米兰官网rs. We have also developed assembly technology based on innovative high-precision molding technology, which eliminates fiber position error as a major facac 米兰官网r in connecac 米兰官网r insertion loss. This has resulted in a striking reduction in insertion loss and remarkably high-density packaging compared with existing connecac 米兰官网rs. In terms of the reduction in loss, we obtained 0.15 dB (SMF) for an 8-fiber connecac 米兰官网r, and 0.30 dB (SMF) for a 24-fiber connecac 米兰官网r. And we were able ac 米兰官网 integrate 60 fibers within the same dimensions as existing connecac 米兰官网rs.
