ABSTRACT:
A waveguide mounting board having an array of ridge type waveguides on a surface thereof is automatically centered with an optical fiber board having a corresponding array of optical fibers by seating elongated alignment rails on the waveguide mounting board within alignment V-grooves in the fiber board. The alignment rails each comprises a short length of an optical fiber mounted on a pair of parallel alignment ridges. The alignment ridges are generally similar to the ridge type waveguides and are formed simultaneously therewith using a common photomask.
