Abstract
A device and a method are provided, for shrinking a protective element () shrinkable by means of the supply of heat onto an optical waveguide (). The method involves generating thermal radiation, reflecting it and focusing it onto a focus zone in which the protective element () is held. The device contains a heating element (), which generates thermal radiation, a reflector (), which focuses the thermal radiation emitted by the heating element onto the focus zone, and a mount (), by means of which the protective element () can be held in the focus zone.
