ABSTRACT:
A multiple fiber positioner (MFP) provides a micromachined structure that includes multiple V-grooves in silicon created via anisotropic etching for positioning optical fibers in splices and connectors. The MFP has a permanently bonded cover to provide a one-piece, stand-alone component. This MFP component is used to create new fiber optic splices and connectors.
