Abstract
A fiber optic ferrule has a main body having a front end, a rear end, and a top surface and a bottom surface joined together by opposing side surfaces and has a longitudinal axis. There are a plurality of optical fiber support structures disposed between the front end and rear end and configured to receive a plurality of optical fibers. The fiber optic ferrule has an end face at the front end of the fiber optic ferrule through which an optical beam passes. There are also a front facing refractive surface and a rear facing refractive surface, the rear facing refractive surface being closer to the end face than the front facing refractive surface, both being at an angle to the front facing refractive surface.
