ABSTRACT:
A coupling device for releasably coupling a first optical waveguide to a second optical waveguide with an end-to-end alignment characterized by a first coupling part having a seating surface with a longitudinally extending channel, at least one second coupling part having a support part with an end of a first waveguide being secured to a longitudinally extending undersized groove provided on the support part. The second coupling part further comprises flexible webs for mounting the support part in the second coupling part for movement transverse to the axis of the first waveguide and to press the end of the first waveguide into the channel when the second and first coupling parts are assembled together so that the first waveguide is received in the channel aligned with the end of the second waveguide to couple the waveguides together.
