Abstract
Procedure for preparing a laminated plate structure having an optical fiber situated therein, in which the optical fiber is situated between two respective laminating agent layers, in turn situated between two glass plates, the optical fiber extending out from the structure at opposite ends thereof. Grooves are cut out of the laminating agent layers around both opposite ends of the fiber extending out form the structure, with tubes being inserted over these respective opposite ends of the fiber and into the grooves, so that the fibers can move freely within these respective tubes. Then, the tubes and adjoining plates are adhered to one another, with appropriate compression being applied to form the final laminated structure.
