Abstract:
A method of bonding an optical fiber in a ferrule includes disposing the ferrule at least partially in a conductive assembly such that a conductive element of the conductive assembly contacts a portion of the ferrule. Energy delivered to the bonding agent via thermal transfer from the conductive element brings the bonding agent to a securing temperature. Cooling the bonding agent to secure the optical fiber in the bore of the ferrule. Related systems are also disclosed.
