Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for aligning fiber optics. The device used to implement the method comprises an inclined support (16) for a fiber optic (15) to be aligned with one or more fibers (11) in a flat ribbon (10), and an inclined contact element (12) supporting a gripping means (9) attached to the flat ribbon. The fiber extremities engage in V-shaped guide grooves (13) having a central alignment zone (14). Alignment occurs when the fiber to be aligned and the fibers in the flat ribbon are placed in the alignment zone by sliding each of them in one of the V-shaped grooves and inwardly curving a predetermined length thereof so that the fiber extremities are placed in immediate proximity to one another and are essentially tangential to said V-shaped groove only in the area of their extremities.
