Abstract
A method of preparing an optical device for alignment with a light beam emitter or receiver. The optical device is formed of a first glass that is resistant to dissolving in a given solvent. Extending through the device is an optical waveguide at least the cladding of which is soluble in the given solvent. At least one end of the device is immersed in the solvent to dissolve the end portion of the fiber and form a well. An optical fiber is inserted into the well where it is aligned with the fiber extending through the device.
