<p>There is described a method of providing an optical fibre termination having a locating surface concentric with an optical fibre. The method comprises the steps of inserting an end of the optical fibre into a sleeve having an axial through bore, securing the optical fibre end within the bore of the sleeve member, thereby to provide a fibre termination, mounting the fibre termination in a rotatable clamping device of a machining tool, transmitting light through the fibre so as to produce a light beam emerging from the fibre end, adjusting the rotatable clamping member until rotation thereof produces a stationary light beam defining an axis, and machining the locating surface about the axis defined by the stationary light beam.</p> |
