ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for selectably positioning an optical fiber end along a range of positions comprising a bender assembly including at least one piezoelectric bender element and having a first end thereof arranged for association with one or more optical fiber ends and a second end thereof located at a reference position. Suitable application of electrical energy to the piezoelectric bender element causes it to assume a selected position along the range of positions. Various embodiments of bender assemblies and applications thereof in communication are also described.
