ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic optical fiber holder includes two electrodes spaced apart and forming two alignment surfaces. A voltage applied between the two electrodes produces a nonuniform electric field which exerts an electrostatic force upon an optical fiber placed in the field, such that the fiber is positioned and held in contact with the two alignment surfaces.
