Abstract: Disclosed is a method of severing a fiber length projecting out of the end face of a plurality of ferrules. The ferrules are mounted in a polishing fixture. Image processing establishes the fiber cleaving plane. Relative movement between the laser beam and the ferrule severs the fiber protruding out of the ferrule end-face. Excess epoxy that may be present on the ferrule end-face is removed concurrently with the fiber severing process. The method includes cleaning and inspection of ferrules.
