Abstract
An optical fiber is connected to an optical device having a substrate with locating means, such as a V-groove, for locating the fiber on the substrate. Attachment means secure the optical fiber at a position remote from the locating means so that the fiber is held in a state of elastic deformation to assist in holding the fiber in contact with the locating means without it being secured thereto.
