Abstract: A cleaning tool for an optical surface, particularly well adapted to the cleaning of optical surfaces which access is difficult.The cleaning tool includes an injector (8) which can send a cleaning liquid, and then a drying gas, under pressure onto the optical surface (2), and a jacket (9) for the evacuation of the cleaning and drying fluids. The tool has a neck (13) to fit onto an optical tip associated with an optical fiber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical fibre connector end fitting, a process for centering this fibre, as well as a device for centering the fibre in the end fitting. According to the invention, the end fitting includes a sleeve on which is positioned a centering device having a corresponding internal shape and having a cylindrical opening in which is housed the fibre. The end fitting also has a hole, which is connected to the internal cylindrical channel of the end fitting and into which is poured a polymerizable resin, while the fibre is held in place by the centering device. After polymerization, the terminal portion of the end fitting is polished by means of a suitable tool.
