Abstract
Optical fibre splices having highly precise V-grooves were moulded by electroformed cavities on etched silicon chips. Splices were produced by transfer moulding, using improved phenolic resin. They showed a quite low average splicing loss of 0.05 dB and sufficient stability to withstand the ambient temperature variation.
