Abstract

Small, high precision, multicore optical guides and process for the production of said guides. Such a guide includes elementary guides (G1 to G4) and a matrix (M) in which they are located. These elementary guides are very accurately positioned with respect to one another in the matrix and with respect to the external contours (5) thereof and have high precision geometrical characteristics. According to the process, manufacturing and machining of the blanks so as to obtain, after assembly, the chosen geometrical model for the multicore guide. They are assembled in accordance with this model, welded together by means of a bait and the assembly is drawn.
