ABSTRACT:
A method for making an optical interconnect unit is disclosed. A mold (100) with surface (107) having a groove (112) is formed. An optical fiber (117) is placed into the groove (112) of the surface (107). A molding material is applied onto the surface (107) of the mold (100) and onto the optical fiber (117), thereby affixing the optical fiber (117) to the molding material.
