Zusammenfassung:One aspect of the invention provides a method for providing a connection between an embedded fibre optic ( 124 ) and a surface connector ( 144 ). The method comprises providing a substrate ( 100 ) comprising an embedded fibre connector component ( 120 ), forming a trench ( 110 ) to expose the embedded fibre connector component ( 120 ), and forming a fibre abutment connection between the embedded fibre connector component ( 120 ) and a fibre optic ( 142 ). The fibre optic ( 142 ) is suitable for guiding radiation between the embedded fibre connector component ( 120 ) and the surface connector ( 144 ).
