ABSTRACT:
A connector, method and alignment device for connecting single-mode optical fibers are provided. The connector is characterized by a deformable, elongated base for supporting two coaxial fibers and a meltable slug which secures the fibers to the base in a nondamageable manner upon melting and resolidification. The method addresses employing the connector to affix the fibers. The device, employed in combination with the connector, includes two translatable clamps to distort the connector base thereby aligning the fibers optical cores in a substantially coaxial relationship.
