ABSTRACT:
Methods are disclosed for forming precision, fiber optic interfaces, and a recision, fiber optic interface is disclosed in accordance therewith, an electroformed disk is disclosed to provide fiber alignment, and electrical discharge machining (EDM) is disclosed to provide accurate angular alignment of optical fibers at a planar optical interface. In one method embodiment, a combination of EDM, an alignment bushing and an electroformed disk are used to fashion a precision multi-channel fiber optic interface, and in one interface and method embodiment, two electroformed disks are used to provide a precision, multi-channel fiber optic interface.
