Abstract:
Improved optical fiber coupling reliability is realized by improving structures and materials used at the fiber joint. When ceramic ferrules are used at the fiber joint, the penetration of a UV-cured optical adhesive between the ceramic ferrules and the fiber ends is avoided or prevented, while an anti-reflective coating, an uncured optical adhesive, or a refractive index matching gel may be applied between the ceramic ferrules. When glass ferrules are used at the fiber joint, the UV-cured optical adhesive may be applied and fully cured between the glass ferrules and the fiber ends.

Claim (Index 13):
The method of  claim 11 , further comprising:\n prior to the aligning, applying an anti-reflective coating to the first ferrule at the proximal fiber and to the second ferrule at the distal fiber, wherein the anti-reflective coating reduces reflection of light between the proximal fiber and the distal fiber.
