Abstract
A high density fiber terminator/connector and methods of making the high density fiber terminator/connector are provided. One method comprises using deep reactive ion etching to etch a plurality of holes through a silicon substrate, wherein each hole is sized to fit an optical fiber; placing an optical fiber in at least one hole; removing portions of the fibers such that one end of each fiber is substantially even with one side of the substrate; polishing a surface of the ends of the fibers and the side of the substrate that are substantially even; and forming a coating on the surface of the ends of the fibers and the side of the substrate that are substantially even.
