Abstract
The apparatus comprises: firstly a support (4) having at least one surface (40) which is made of soft, elastically deformable material and which includes a groove (5) suitable for receiving the ends of two optical fibers (1, 2) to be connected in end-to-end contact; and secondly a member (8) which is kept bearing against the support surface and the ends of the optical fibers. Said member (8) comprises a polished rigid part such that keeping it bearing against the support surface (40) exerts a compression action on the said ends of the fibers, giving rise to radial reaction from the wall of the groove against the ends of the fibers, and thus ensuring that the fibers are aligned.
