ABSTRACT:
A connector for optical fibres uses the thickness of a piece of metallic foil to space an optical fibre from a known plane and utilizes the metallic foil to hold the optical fibre. Two portions are provided, each with an optical fibre retained by metallic foil, and a third member is used to align the optical fibres in one plane by abuttment against the metallic foil and in a further plane by use of, for example, a groove. Since grooves may be accurately machined and metallic foil thickness may be accurately controlled, an accurate and cheap connector may be produced.
