Fiber bundle interconnect and method of making same

摘要

An interconnect for coupling optical fibers and photonic devices. This interconnect is comprised of a fiber bundle formed of a plurality of optical fibers, a plurality of photonic devices, and a connector assembly. The connector assembly is comprised of a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is coupled to the fiber bundle and the second connector is coupled to the plurality of photonic devices. When the first connector and second connector are coupled together in a single connection, the photonic devices align with the optical fibers for optical communication.
