Abstract
Described is a method for assembling multi-fiber array connectors. V-grooved silicon chips are placed in a holder which allows the chips to 'float' with respect to each other and adjust to varying fiber diameters. Once the fibers are inserted, the chips are clamped and cemented together with the fibers fixed in the grooves.
