Abstract
An optical fibre termination is machined to provide a locating surface having improved concentricity with a therein-mounted optical fibre by more accurately locating the optical fibre at the rotational center of a machining tool. Light transmitted through the optical fibre is monitored while the termination is adjusted, in response to such monitoring, to accurately coincide with the rotational machining axis.
