Abstract
A device for the positioning and holding of an optical fiber having a substrate, a groove for receiving the optical fiber, and at least one first and one second groove widenings along a longitudinal axis of said groove. An adhesive substance is introduced in one of the two widenings, said adhesive substance fixing the fiber to the substrate. A process for fixing a fiber to a substrate includes the steps of positioning the fiber, holding said fiber with a tool, and introducing an adhesive substance for fixing the fiber to a substrate.
