An optical apparatus (110) includes a base member (121) with a
plurality
of grooves (181-187, 191-197), and includes a respective lens (11-17)
fixedly mounted in each groove. Optical filters (31-35) are mounted on the
support member in predetermined locations. One such lens is fixedly secured to
an input optical fiber (21), and the input fiber is used to introduce radiation
into the apparatus. Several output optical fibers (22-27) are successively
positioned in relation to respective lenses by a fiber positioner (302),
which monitors the amount of radiation passing through the fiber being positioned,
and then causes a laser (303) to fuse the fiber end to the associated lens
in a selected position.
