ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic termination is disclosed in which an optical fiber is inserted into a ferrule having an annular groove formed in the wall of the bore passing through the ferrule adjacent to the forward mating end thereof. The forward end of the fiber is located in the bore adjacent to the groove and is heated in situ to form an enlarged spherical lens on the end of the fiber. The periphery of the lens extends into the groove to retain the fiber in the ferrule without the use of an adhesive.
