ABSTRACT:
A mode preserving apparatus (11) comprising a supporting structure (13), an optical fiber (15), a pin connector (17) for positioning a first region of the optical fiber at a first location and a strain-relief mechanism (19) for positioning a second region of the fiber at a second location. A bobbin assembly (21), includng a first bobbin (23), is mounted on the supporting structure (13) for movement relative to the first and second locations. The optical fiber (15) extends along a path from the first location at least part way around the bobbin (23) to the second location so that movement of the bobbin (23) relative to the first and second locations alters the configuration of the path.
