Abstract
An optical ferrule includes a substrate formed of a diced wafer and a molded structure formed on the substrate. The molded structure may be formed of a curable material. The molded structure may include a plurality of grooves for positioning a plurality of optical fibers therealong, respectively, a plurality of reflective surfaces formed to reflect optical signals from ends of the plurality of optical fibers, respectively, or reflect incident optical signals towards the ends of the plurality of optical fibers, respectively, and an alignment structure disposed to be aligned to a corresponding alignment structure of a socket to which the optical ferrule is coupled.
