ABSTRACT:
The structure of a miniature component for use in connecting optical fibers along with methods for fabricating the component. A small scale tube having precision surfaces inside and out has formed directly in it a converging, preferably plastic, lens capable of imaging a fiber end properly located into assimilarly situated fiber in another like facing component. The outside precision surfaces of the tube serve as references for precision alignment of the component while its inside precision surfaces aid in formation of the lens.
