Claim:
1. A single pre-aligned fiber optic splice component comprising: a first structure comprising a first array of indentations; each indentation in said first array of indentations adapted to receive one or more first optical fibers; a single finite conjugate optical imaging subsystem, not located in said first array of indentations, optically disposed in optical communication with said first structure; a second structure comprising a second array of indentations; each indentation in said second array of indentations adapted to receive one or more second optical fibers; said second structure optically disposed in optical communication with said single finite conjugate optical imaging subsystem said single finite conjugate optical imaging subsystem being optically configured to image at least one indentation in said first array of indentations onto at least one indentation in said second array of indentations and vice versa.
