Abstract
A system and method for segmenting a plurality of optical fibers to form an arrayed multi-fiber optical connector. In one example embodiment, the present innovations include an optical connector that has a plurality of optical fibers arranged into a two-dimensional array, the optical fibers being segmented by a laser emitting substantially in the infra-red spectrum. The optical fibers are preferably segmented after having been positioned on a substrate that becomes part of the connector.
