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 31):
The module of  claim 24 , further comprising a plurality of second mechanical elements, wherein each of the plurality of second mechanical elements lies along a common fiber axis with a corresponding mechanical element of the plurality of first mechanical elements, wherein the plurality of integrated optical sensors extends between and into one of the plurality of first mechanical elements and one of the plurality of second mechanical elements.
