Abstract
A method for bonding two or more optical parts and an optical apparatus of using the method are disclosed. According to one embodiment, two optical fiber segments are used as a spacer between two optical parts. The optical fiber segments may be cut off from a commonly used optical fiber according to the size of the parts. In general, the diameter of the optical fiber segments is small, the capillary effect for commonly used adhesives can be eliminated when the two optical parts are bonded with the optical fiber segments in between.
