ABSTRACT:
A method, device and system for polishing and/or finishing one or more optical fibers. The method comprising securing an optical fiber connector to at least one holder, generating a tilting motion at the end of the optical fiber, adjusting the tilting motion of the optical fiber to create the desired optical fiber end shape and positioning a stage to provide planar motion to the at least one holder. A desired tilting motion of the optical fiber is generated by adjusting tension of at least one spring in operable connection with the at least one holder. Further adjustments to the tilting motion may be accomplished by further changes in tension of the at least one spring. A desired fiber optic end shape may be provided by the method, system and device described herein. Such shapes include dome, circular, or flat.
