Abstract
The side surface of a ferrule (16) carrying a polarization-maintaining option fiber (10) has a projecting substantially dihedral-angled portion (17, 19) engaged in a complementary re-entrant substantially dihedral angled portion (22, 24) formed in a ferrule receiver (20). The invention is particularly applicable to making a laser-emitting head for an optical fiber telecommunications network.
