Abstract
An optical device, e.g. a signal generator adapted to provide an optical signal to a fibre tail or to a socket adapted to receive a fibre tail, is assembled by two thin films of adhesive. One film is normal to the beam path and, preferably 50-200.mu. thick. The other film is parallel to the beam path, e.g. surrounding the beam path, and preferably 30-90.mu. thick. Conveniently the device includes an intermediary component and end of said film adheres one of said components to said intermediary component.
