  • Abstract
    A noncontacting connector design which reduces the returned power from reflections is demonstrated. The design takes advantage of the poor coupling characteristics between tilted Gaussian beam modes of single-mode fibre. The connector´s mean return loss is -38 dB and its mean insertion loss is 0.7 dB.
