ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a process of preparing an optical fiber joint, wherein an optical fiber or its undrawn precursor is brought into contact with a longitudinal element and attached to it via a ridge-groove fitting prior to drawing of the final optical fiber joint. The longitudinal element can be another optical fiber or its precursor or a removable and/or workable bridging element.
