Abstract:
Fiber connecting devices ( 100 ) are described that include a mechanical element ( 160 ) that may be opened and closed a plurality of times using an actuation mechanism ( 150, 150 ′), where the mechanism ( 150, 150 ′) allows for securing of the glass portions ( 56, 56 ′) of two optical fibers ( 50, 50 ′) at the same or different times, and allows for connection of the optical fibers ( 50, 50 ′). Methods of connecting two optical fibers ( 50, 50 ′) using such a device ( 100 ) are also described.

Claim (Index 32):
The module of  claim 31 , wherein the bare glass portion of each first optical fiber connects to the first end of one of the plurality of the integrated optical sensors in one of the plurality of first mechanical elements and the bare glass portion of the each second optical fiber connects to the second end of one of the plurality of the integrated optical sensors in one of the plurality of second mechanical elements.
