Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, including a light detecting means, determines the actual position of an optical fiber array having one or more, but fewer than all, short fibers by detecting light transmitted through the short fiber(s) as a laser beam is horizontally and/or vertically scanned across the proximal fiber end(s). The fiber array is attached to an alignment block that facilitates delivery of the array to an accurate positioning means comprising two substantially parallel dowels.
