Paper Abstract
We developed a novel low-cost polish-less elastically deformable optical multifiber backplane connector. The ferrule
deformation and fibers buckling were enabled to cancel the variation in the lengths of unpolished cut fibers. We
confirmed the physical contact connection between unpolished cut fibers in the ferrule and a polymer waveguide in a
connector for polymer-waveguides connected with mechanical transfer connector (PMT) ferrule. The connection loss is
almost the same as that between a conventional polished mechanical transfer (MT) ferrule and the PMT ferrule. We
prepared a connector housing to mount the ferrules on a backplane/midplane. The insertion loss and return loss results in
the housing show no degradations during 200 mating/demating tests, and there were no fiber breakages or damage to the
waveguide core.
