ABSTRACT:
Optical fiber (12)extending from an optical coupler (11) is routed on a substrate layer (13) by first inserting the optical coupler in a device holder (16) having a slotted member (17). An opening in a substrate layer is made to match a cavity (19) in a support member (20). The device holder is inserted in the cavity (19) of the support member (20) and the substrate layer (13) is supported by the support member (20) such that the opening exposes the device holder (16). The optical fiber extending from the optical coupler is inserted into a slot of the slotted member (17) such that a bridging portion (21) of the fiber bridges a distance between the upper surface of the substrate layer (13) and the slotted member (17). The bridging portion of the optical fiber is engaged with a routing device, and the fiber is then muted on the upper surface of the substrate layer (13).
