Keywords:Connectors, splicing and interconnection technologies, Fibers for space division multiplexing

A multicore fiber with small mode field diameter is fabricated and connectorized. The connectors exhibit small attenuation. A possibility of reducing the attenuation further by thermally expanded core technology is demonstrated.
