This disclosure describes a precision optical fiber connection system buildable with a minimum of precision-made components. Sets of fibers to be mated are contained in V-grooves in respective opposing silicon-etched fiber holders. A lense-sphere is fixedly deployed in the groove next to the end of each...http://www.google.fr/patents/US5123073?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US5123073 - Precision optical fiber connector
