Hybrid injection-molded ferrules are presented which consist of a polymer body and an over-molded glass insert. The average coefficient of thermal expansion observed at the front face of the ferrules is 8 ppm/C from room temperature to 100 C. This design could be applicable for direct heterogeneous re-matable connections between fiber ribbons and photonic integrated circuits which exhibit low thermal expansion and operate at elevated temperatures.
