ABSTRACT:
Continuously variable attenuation between the substantially abutting ends of two optical fibers is provided by varying the angle formed between the fiber ends. In the disclosed embodiment, the ends of two optical fibers are abutted and biased against a fiber receiving member. The varying angle is then formed by displacement of the receiving member.
