1. A coupling device for optically coupling a pair of optical fibres in end-to-end relation, each of said fibres terminating at a beam expanding or imaging lens, comprising:

  • base means for each of said fibres, each such base means including an axial bore and means for securing one of said lenses therein;

    a resilient member positionable between confronting end faces of said base means, said resilient member permitting passage of light energy thereacross; and

    axially extending securing and adjusting means interconnecting said base means with said resilient member trapped therebetween;

    whereby said securing and adjusting means are individually axially displaceable to effect an angular adjustment of one base means relative to the other so as to optimize the light energy transmissable from one fibre and its lens to the other lens and its fibre.
