title: Connection mechanism of physical-contact optical fiber connectors with spherical convex polished ends.
abstract: We present an experimental and analytical investigation of the connection mechanism of physical-contact optical-fiber connectors with spherical convex polished ends and confirm that reducing the curvature radius of the spherical convex ferrule end face is effective for establishing a stable connection with slight axial compressive force on the ferrules.
