ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber holder 10 has a base 20 which has at least one groove 24 for retaining a fiber 13, which groove 24 is optimally slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area of the optical fiber 13. The top of the groove 24 is slightly larger than the diameter of the fiber 13. A strand retaining plate 30 is spring biased to additonally secure the fiber 13 when the plate 30 is placed over the fiber 13. The base 20 may be securely fixed in place. To fuse two fibers 13, two optical fiber holders 10 may be placed facing each other with the end of a fiber 13 extending from each. When fusing is to be performed by laser, the pair of apparatus may be securely placed at the proper distance from the laser beam as well as at the proper distance with respect to one another.
