Method of arranging optical fibers and optical fibers arranging module

A method of arranging optical fibers, comprising:

• providing first and second restraining means, each defining a holding space;
• coating parts of said first and second restraining means with a bonding agent, while keeping the holding spaces free of the bonding agent;
• inserting terminal portions of optical fibers in the holding space of the first restraining means, the holding space of the first restraining means having a width sufficient to hold said optical fibers;
• reducing said width of said holding space of said first restraining means so that said optical fibers are brought close;
• reducing a height of the holding space of the second restraining means up to a length of an external diameter of said optical fibers so as to line up facets of said optical fibers;
• and
• fixing the parts of the first and second restraining means using the bonding agent.

A method of arranging optical fibers, comprising:

• providing a first restraining means having a first holding space, and a second restraining means having a second holding space;
• arranging the second restraining means to be separated from the first restraining means by a space along a length of optical fibers;
• inserting terminal portions of the optical fibers in the first holding space and in the second holding space, the first holding space having a width sufficient to hold said optical fibers;
• reducing the width of the first holding space so that the optical fibers are brought close;
• reducing a height of the second holding space up to a length of an external diameter of the optical fibers so as to line up facets of the optical fibers;
• wherein said first restraining means comprises a pair of base elements which form the first holding space;
• and
• fixing said pair of base elements together with a bonding agent while keeping the first holding space free of the bonding agent.
