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 24):
An optical fiber connecting device module for interconnecting bare glass portions of a plurality of optical fibers, comprising:\n a plurality of first mechanical elements arranged parallel to one another in a side-by-side arrangement; a plurality of integrated optical fiber sensors at least partially disposed in the first mechanical elements, wherein each of the first mechanical elements optically connects at least one of the first and second optical fibers to the integrated optical fiber sensor; and a plurality of actuation mechanisms that can actuate the plurality of first mechanical elements to allow for the first and second optical fibers to be positioned, secured and actuated in the optical fiber connecting device at the same or different times.
