ABSTRACT:
Optical fiber alignment mechanism comprising at least an optical fiber, at least three rigid members with a circular cross section, which are arranged to surround said optical fiber and of which each is in tangential contact with said optical fiber as well as with two other rigid members, and a plastic member molded in a plug like shape to contain said fiber and rigid members in lump, the outer surface of said plastic member allowing said rigid members to be exposed tangentially at least at three portions thereon.
