Abstract
An optical connector includes a fiber holder to hold optical fibers; a housing to accommodate the optical fibers and the fiber holder; and a thermally driven actuator to displace at least a part of the fiber holder upon application of heat from a first position at which the fiber holder is retracted inside the housing to a second position that allows the optical fibers to be optically coupled to a counterpart connector.
