Abstract
A method for manufacturing high-precision end faces on waveguides, by which the end face of a waveguide formed in a substrate contains microscopically small fractures due to mechanical processing, is characterized by the procedural steps: place a body (20) having a high-precision surface against the substrate (10) in front of the end face of the waveguide (12); introducing an adhesive (22) into the space between the end face of the waveguide (12) and the high-precision surface of the body (20); and allowing the adhesive (22) to set.
Claims8
A method for manufacturing high-precision end faces on waveguides of the type wherein a waveguide is formed in a substrate and has an end face containing microscopically small fractures caused by mechanical processing, comprising the steps of:
- (a) Placing a body (20) having a high-precision surface on the substrate (10) in front of the end face of the waveguide (12),
- (b) Introducing an adhesive (22) into the space between the end face of the waveguide (12) and the high-precision surface of the body (20) and
- (c) Allowing the adhesive (22) to set.
