<p>A connector for securing the ends of a pair of optical waveguide fibers in optical alignment comprises a resilient base having a U-shaped groove adapted to receive the ends of the fibers and a clamp for deforming the base in a manner such that the sidewalls of the groove are brought into compressive engagement with the fibers. The compressive forces exerted by the walls of the groove bring the fibers into optical alignment and also secure the fibers against axial and lateral displacement.</p> |
