ABSTRACT:
A device for assembling ends of optical fibers into a sheet. Each of the ends is stripped of any resilient coating and has a flat terminal face. A grooved substrate is supported on a cradle means. An adhesive dispensing means deposites adhesive into the grooves. A gripping means grips the optical fibers to form the ends into a sheet and positions each of the optical fibers into the grooves of the substrate. A portion of each of the optical fibers, including the ends, extends beyond an edge of the substrate. A means holds a plate, having a flat surface, against the substrate where the plate covers the grooves to hold the optical fibers in the grooves and where the plate bonds to the substrate. The flat surface extends beyond the edge of the substrate to cover the portion of each of the optical fibers extending beyond the edge of the substrate. A means for pressing presses the portion of each of the optical fibers extending beyond the edge of the substrate against the flat surface of the plate until the adhesive hardens.
