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 30):
A method of forming an optical assembly comprising:\n providing an optical waveguide member including at least one waveguides, each waveguide having a waveguide free end, a waveguide axis, and an associated alignment channel generally parallel to and aligned with each waveguide; providing a waveguide termination module assembly 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; positioning the waveguide termination module assembly relative to the optical waveguide member with the fiber free end of each optical fiber aligned with its associated alignment channel and with the second portion of each optical fiber at an angle to its associated waveguide axis; moving the waveguide termination module assembly relative to the optical waveguide member to cause the fiber free end of each optical fiber to contact its aligned alignment channel; further moving the waveguide termination module assembly relative to the optical waveguide member to deflect the second portion of each optical fiber and align the second portion with the waveguide axis of its 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.
