A B S T R A C T An optical fiber coupler-distributer, and method of manufacture. A chamfer is polished on the side of each of two end portions of optical fiber (2A, 2B) so that the polished chamfers may be brought into contact to define an end face common to both fibers and of substantially the same cross section as that of a single fiber. A groove is formed in the top surface of a soft support (4), and the middle of the groove (5) is sized to receive the stripped ends of optical fibers. A glass plate (8) is applied to the top surface of the support to close the groove. The chamfered end fibers (2A, 2B) are inserted into the groove from one end so as to form said common end face in the middle of the groove. Another fiber (11 ) ( or similarly prepared pair of fibers) is inserted from the other end of the groove to establish end-to-end optical co-operation between the fibers. The groove is filled with a liquid index- matching medium which sets when exposed to ultraviolet radiation. Once the index-matching medium has been set, the glass plate can be peeled off the support (4) bringing with it the optical fibers which are fixed thereto in a configuration which defines a very simple optical fiber coupler-distributer.
