Abstract
An optical fiber ferrule assembly is disclosed which comprises an inner sleeve (of a metallic material, for example) including a necked-down portion for securing the fiber, and an outer housing (of a plastic material, for example) formed as a cylindrical member through which the sleeve may be inserted. A washer may be attached to a flanged end portion of the sleeve and subsequently laser welded to an associated optical submount.
