ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for making ferrules for connecting optical fibers to other optical fibers or to an optical input device such as an optical chip. The method utilizes ceramic greensheets or silicon wafers. In one method, the greensheets are stacked and laminated and then fiber optic through openings are provided in the laminate for holding the fibers. The laminate is then sintered forming the ferrule.
