Summary :

This paper presents a design approach for developing MU-type single-mode miniature optical connectors featuring 1. 25 mm diameter zirconia ferrules. They are smaller and have a higher packaging density than conventional optical connectors. The ferrule pitch is 1/2, the plug volume 2/5 and the cross-sectional area 2/5 that of the SC connector. The aim of our approach is to reduce the ferrule size and to realize durable connectors. With 10/125 SM fibers, these MU connectors produced an average insertion loss of 0. 07 dB and an average return loss of 49. 4 dB, and there was no degradation during or after mechanical and environmental tests.
