Abstract :
High-precision moulded connectors for single-mode optical fibres have been developed using accurate electroformed cavities. The accuracy of moulded ferrules was greatly improved to less than 1 ¿m by preparing a high-precision master and a strict moulding condition control. They had a low average connection loss of 0.48 dB and could be produced by a simple moulding process.
