An optical waveguide connector for transmitting light from a laser emitter and to a photo receiver on a circuit board, including a base section having a receiving passageway; a planar waveguide received in the receiving passageway; and a light guide device coupling to the planar waveguide; wherein the planar waveguide has an input waveguide core corresponding to the laser emitter and an output waveguide core corresponding to the photo receiver; wherein the planar waveguide has a smooth front face, the input waveguide core and the output waveguide core extending to the front face; and wherein the light guide device comprises a first reflector proximal to the front face and a second reflector distal from the front face, the second reflector turns the light from the laser emitter toward the input waveguide core, and the first reflector turns the light from the output waveguide core toward the photo receiver. |
