Abstract
An optical connector includes a lens block mounted in a MPO housing and optically coupled between an optical light guide and an external coupling light guide. A first lens formed on a first surface of the lens block to totally reflect and collimate light emitting from the optical light guide to a second surface. The second surface is coated with a partial transmission coating on a transmitter side and a total reflective coating on a receiver side. A second lens formed on a third or fourth surface on the lens block for focusing light from the second surface onto the external coupling light guide.
