ABSTRACT:
An aligning apparatus for optical fiber coupling and the manufacturing method there of are disclosed. An aligning apparatus for optical coupling devices, includes a ferrule having a hole confining an optical fiber thereinside to make the optical fiber move freely within the space of the hole for holding the optical fiber; a ferrule holding jig placed outside the ferrule; a first optical fiber jig at the upper end of the ferrule holding jig for supporting and holding the optical fiber already inserted into the ferrule; a first hole at the center of the first optical fiber jig for receiving the optical fiber thereinside, a second optical fiber jig at the lower end of the ferrule holding jig for holding the optical fiber already inserted into the ferrule; a second hole at the center of the second optical fiber jig for receiving the optical fiber thereinside; a control means controlling the positions of the first optical fiber jig and the second optical fiber jig for aligning the optical fiber in the X, Y, and Z directions.
