An optical fiber termination device is described which includes first and second housings supported for relative movement therebetween. The first housing supports an optical fiber cable and is insertable into a second housing which supports a cutting device for severing the cable and providing a termination end face. The composite structure is then insertable into a termination housing to provide optical connection with a further optical device.

A method of modulating light in a optical fiber is disclosed. Light is launched into a multimode fiber in a restricted group of fiber modes. Disturbances placed in the fiber modulates the light being sent therethrough. The modulated light is received by a detector and may be readily interpreted. This method is especially useful in locations where electronic components may not be used.
