ABSTRACT:
A method of connecting optical fibers with each other or with optical waveguides using a connection aid. The connecting aid has a hole into which the fiber is inserted and secured and from which hole a tip portion of the fiber protrudes slightly, and an adhesive or solder is applied to a gap between two adjacent connection aids or between an end surface of the waveguide and an opposed surface of the connection aid. The connection aid may contain an array of two or more optical fibers. The connection method can be used to produce reliable, strong and low-loss connections between the optical fibers or between and optical waveguide and the optical fibers.
