ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a method for coupling an optical fiber to an optical device. Ends of optical fibers are ion polished. Micro-manipulators are used to position the polished end in abutting relationship with the optical device. A liquid which contains glass constituents is used to coat the junction of the optical fiber and the optical device. The liquid is subjected to a temperature cycle which fuses the glass constituents to the optical fiber and to the optical device.
