Abstract
Summary form only given. This work provides a method of passive mechanical alignment of an array of single mode fibers to an array of binary optics. The technique employs the use of a micro-machined metal spring, that captures a vertical, pre-positioned fiber, moves it into accurate alignment, and holds it for attachment
