Abstract

A connector arrangement for an optical fibre 1 comprises an expanded beam termination 2 for the fibre and a reflection means 6, such as a prism, inclined at an angle to the optical axis of the termination 2. Typically the reflection means is one face of a prism, a second face of which is normal to the optical axis of the termination. If necessary a third face of the prism is treated to make it non-reflecting. When the prism is a so-called "roof" prism two such connectors may be used to make either a right-angled connection (Fig. 5a) or a substantially straight through connection (Fig. 5b). Other alternatives are described with reference to Figs. 7, 8 and 9 (not shown).
