AB - We present a peripheral fiber connector to seamlessly interface optical fiber ribbons with polymer optical waveguides integrated on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Laser ablation was used to fabricate the optical board, featuring alignment features which enable an accurate positioning of an alignment plate carrying MT-compatible guide pins. These allow for a high-precision in-line mating of commercial MT ferrules with the board-integrated waveguides. The alignment plate is fabricated through deep proton writing (DPW) and is mounted on the PCB by means of steel micro-balls, and is compatible with mass replication technologies.
