| Abstract: | The authors present a technique for fibre management on a circuit board, which utilises newly-developed, flexible optical fibre circuits and multifibre physical contact connectors. The technique achieves compact fibre wiring and easy fibre connection for hundreds of fibres on a circuit board. The authors have fabricated a compact 8×16 delivery and coupling switch board using the technique |
