ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing an optical fiber end, provided with a face transparent to light waves, for attaching a ferrule, is described, in which the face is formed by cutting through the optical fiber and mechanical machining and the optical fiber is freed of its outer cladding, which completely encloses the outside of the optical fiber, in the region of an end section, the cutting through of the optical fiber (1) and the mechanical machining of the face (14, 15) being performed as a self-contained work step, which simultaneously includes the cutting through of the optical fiber (1) and the fine machining of the face (14, 15) obtained in this way, and the removal of the outer cladding (21, 22) in the region of the end section (23, 24) only being completed subsequently to this work step.
