Abstract:
Optical waveguide termination module assemblies include a plurality of optical fibers with each having a retained first portion and a movable second portion. The movable second portions are configured to be mounted on an optical waveguide member. Optical assemblies and methods of forming the optical assemblies with the optical waveguide termination module assemblies are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 43):
A method of forming an optical assembly comprising:\n providing an optical waveguide member including at least one waveguide, each waveguide having a waveguide free end and a waveguide axis, and at least one alignment channel, each alignment channel being generally parallel to and aligned with one of the at least one waveguide; providing a waveguide termination module including at least one optical fiber secured thereto, each optical fiber having a first portion and a second portion, the second portion including a fiber free end, the waveguide termination module having a first section with the first portion of each optical fiber secured thereto, and an alignment section with the second portion of each optical fiber extending in a cantilevered manner along and spaced from the alignment section and away from the first section; positioning the waveguide termination module relative to the optical waveguide member with the fiber free end of each optical fiber aligned with and offset from one of the at least one alignment channel; moving the optical waveguide member relative to the waveguide termination module to move the fiber free end of each optical fiber into its aligned alignment channel and align the second portion of each optical fiber with the waveguide axis of an aligned waveguide; and securing the second portion of each optical fiber to the optical waveguide member to optically connect the fiber free end of each optical fiber to the waveguide free end of each aligned waveguide.
