Sleeve for alining two optical fibers is made with precisely correct inside diameter by using section of fiber as mandrel. Because optical fiber is manufactured to very close tolerances, diameter of section serving as mandrel will be same as diameters of two fibers that are mated in butt joint inside sleeve. Result, determined by experiments, is loss of no more that 0.3 dB at joint.
