Abstract
A waveguide connector includes a ferrule with a number of waveguides inserted thereinto. The ferrule includes a front mating surface, a rear surface, front and rear passageways extending through the front and the rear mating surfaces, respectively. The front and the rear passageways are in communication with each other while the front passageway is thinner than the rear passageway. The waveguide each includes a number of cores and a cladding layer enclosing the cores. The front part of the cladding layer is of rectangular shape and includes four peripheral surfaces which are so limited by four inner surfaces of the front passageway, respectively, so as to precisely position the waveguides.
