<p>A device and method of aligning two or more optical fibers (322) on an array waveguide is achieved by etching grooves into the array waveguide. The two or more optical fibers are attached together by a retainer (300) and placed into the grooves of the array waveguide and butted up against the ends of the V-prooves (324). Channels (350) within the array waveguide are coursely aligned to the two or more optical fibers and may be more finely aligned by manual adjustment.</p> |
