Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant la réalisation d'un réseau de fibres optiques ordonné par la formation d'un réseau d'orifices dans un bloc de verre sur la base d'un modèle agrandi d'un réseau avec une précision souhaitée, le chauffage et l'étirage du bloc de verre à partir d'une première extrémité de celui ci, et la réduction d'une dimension extérieure du bloc de verre et du réseau d'orifices à une dimension prédéterminée pour le réseau de précision. On sépare une portion du corps de bloc d'alignement pour former au moins une plaque d'alignement de fibres, et on fixe des fibres optiques. Cela peut être utilisé dans un agencement de connecteurs pour fibres optiques présentant des première et deuxième plaques d'alignement, avec au moins une des première et deuxième plaques d'alignement disposée sur un montage flottant. Les structures d'alignement sont disposées sur la plaque d'alignement pour un alignement précis. Un autre procédé d'assemblage d'un réseau de fibres optiques ordonné peut être utilisé dans lequel les fibres sont positionnées au moyen d'un manipulateur piloté par ordinateur et collées au substrat.
