Abstract
An optical fiber component includes an optical fiber array and at least one fiber lid. The optical fiber array has a plurality of individual optical fibers extending between a first end and an opposing second end. The fiber lid has a first surface and an opposing second surface. A portion of the second surface is attached to a portion of the optical fiber array adjacent the second end so as to partially define an adhesion region of the optical fiber component and a compliance region of the fiber pigtail assembly to enable high-yield fiber re-alignment in grooves.
