Abstract

Simultaneous thermal forming of a ferrule (14) and optical fiber (16) as part of a ferrule assembly (12) to thermally form an optical surface (18) in the ferrule assembly. Related fiber optic components connectors assemblies and methods are disclosed. In certain embodiments the ferrule assembly is comprised of a ferrule (14) and an optical fiber (16) having an end portion (22) extending from an end face (26) of the ferrule. The ferrule (14) may be made from a material or material composition having the same or similar thermal energy absorption characteristics as the optical fiber disposed in the ferrule. Thus when the end face (26) of the ferrule and the end portion (22) of the optical fiber are simultaneously exposed to a wavelength(s) of a laser beam emitted by a laser at least a portion of the end face of the ferrule and end portion of the optical fiber are both thermally formed together to form an optical surface.
