Abstract
An optical waveguide connector is disclosed for coupling optical waveguides in colinear coincident axial alignment. The connector comprises two intermateable connector bodies, with each connector body having first and second alignment surfaces which cooperate to define an interstitial space therebetween for receiving a corresponding waveguide. Each first alignment surface extends beyond the end of the corresponding waveguide to engage and laterally urge a corresponding waveguide of the other connector body into lateral engagement with the corresponding first and second cooperating surfaces of the other connector body when the connector bodies are matingly engaged.
