Abstract
A pair of optical fibers is connected by means of a glass sleeve having a lower melting point than the fibers and a bore having a clearance fit over the ends of the fibers to be joined. One fiber is inserted into one end of the sleeve and the sleeve is heated to collapse over the fiber end. Index matching fluid is introduced into the other end of the sleeve before inserting the other fiber therein.
