Abstract:
The glass-based ferrules include a glass substrate and two spaced-apart guide tubes, which can also be made of glass. The guide tubes include bores sized to receive guide pins from another ferrule. The ferrule can be used to form an optical interconnection device in the form of a waveguide connector that includes a planar lightwave circuit that supports multiple waveguides. The ferrule can also be used to form an optical interconnection device in the form of a fiber connector that includes a support substrate and an array of optical fibers supported thereby. The waveguide connector and fiber connector when mated form an integrated photonic device. Methods of forming the ferrule components, the ferrules and the optical interconnection devices are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 51):
The fiber connector according to  claim 48 , wherein one of the first and second retention components comprises a spring-loaded plunger and the other of the first and second retention features comprises a receiving tube having an end and configured to receive an end of the spring-loaded plunger, wherein the end of the spring-loaded plunger can be locked and unlocked at the end of the receiving tube by rotation of the spring-loaded plunger.
