    摘要: A method and apparatus for aligning optical transports in a ferrule. The transports are aliened in the ferrule by mounting the ferrule on a jig having grooves into which the ends of the optical transports are inserted for transversely aligning the fibers in the ferrule. A row of transports is placed in the ferrule cavity with the front ends of the transports extending past the ferrule and into the grooves of the jig, thereby laterally aligning the transports with the grooves. The fibers are affixed to the ferrule. The ferrule can then be removed from the jig and the front ends of the transports that extended into the grooves of the jig cleaved flush with the front face of the ferrule.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for aligning optical transports in a ferrule. The ferrule has an open side through which optical transports may be laterally placed in a transport cavity. The transports are aligned in the ferrule by mounting the ferrule on a jig having grooves into which the ends of the optical transports are inserted for transversely aligning the fibers in the ferrule. A row of transports is placed in the ferrule cavity with the front ends of the transports extending past the ferrule and into the grooves of the jig, thereby laterally aligning the transports with the grooves. The fibers are affixed to the ferrule. The ferrule can then be removed from the jig and the front ends of the transports that extended into the grooves of the jig cleaved flush with the front face of the ferrule. Additional rows of transports may be aligned in the ferrule in the same manner using different jigs. C-shaped grooves can be employed to separate the horizontal alignment from the vertical alignment. Specifically, horizontal alignment is effectuated by the opposing edges of the groove at the mouth of the C shape engaging the transports and vertical alignment is effectuated by the cladding layer of the row of transports resting on the tops of the grooves. It also is possible to create effective grooves of a smaller size than might otherwise be manufacturable in a single jig piece by, instead, fabricating two jig pieces, each with larger grooves and longitudinally aligning the two jig pieces with their respective grooves laterally offset from each other so that each jig piece effectively provides half of the groove.
