ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for packaging an optical waveguide coupler where the coupler includes a body having two end portions and a constricted portion located between the end portions. The method includes placing the coupler in a mold where the mold surrounds at least the constricted portion of the coupler, introducing a polymeric composition into the mold so that the polymeric composition substantially fills the constricted portion, curing the polymeric composition, and removing the mold.
