ABSTRACT:
A connector device for interconnecting a plurality of light waveguides comprises two carrier members which have aligning centering grooves for receiving waveguides which are stripped of the cladding. Each of the carrier members has a recess adjacent a rear end in which the unstripped portions of the waveguides are accepted. A first adhesive, which hardens as a very hard adhesive, is utilized for securing the waveguides in the centering grooves adjacent the first surface which will be ground to form the abutting surface and a second adhesive which is substantially softer and more elastic in the hardened condition is utilized for securing the cladded portions of the waveguide in the recess so that less stress is applied to the waveguides. The method of forming the carrier member with the waveguide includes introducing the first adhesive, preferably by capillary action, through the first surface of the carrier that will subsequently be the abutting surface and after hardening the first adhesive applying the second adhesive through the rear end.
