ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method of molding an article from a layed up preform having an optical fiber embedded therein, the optical fiber having at least one end for coupling to an external optical fiber. The method comprising the steps of: providing the optical fiber; providing a hollow tubular sleeve having first and second ends; inserting the at least one end of the optical fiber into the first end of said sleeve such that it extends through a portion thereof forming an optical fiber assembly; providing a mold; laying up the preform in the mold; embedding the optical fiber assembly into the preform simultaneously with the step of laying up the preform; molding the preform to form the article; and removing the molded articel from the mold.
