Abstract
A structure for separating and prepositioning a set of fibers, and a device designed to contain a set of separate fibers prepositioned using the structure. The separation and prepositioning structure includes at least one recess to contain and preposition a single fiber. The recess includes a bottom wall, a top wall, and at least one side wall formed by the side wall of a pattern with a front edge that is oblique with respect to the bottom wall of the recess. At least one inclined connection surface connects the oblique front edge to the rest of the side wall. The structure and device are applicable particularly to the alignment of optical fibers with microguides contained in an optical device.
