    摘要: In the determination of the angular rotational position of axial asymmetries of bodies like optical PM-fibers such a body or fiber is illuminated during rotations (201) thereof to different angular positions around its longitudinal axis. For different angular positions the difference is then determined between light, which has passed through the fiber end and in its position corresponds to the central part of the fiber, and light, which has passed through the fiber end and in its position corresponds to the region of the fiber located immediately outside the central part. These differences, considered as a function of the rotation angle, constitute a curve that is analyzed (205) for finding the regions thereof having the steepest descent or increase, such as a valley region. Only these regions are then used (207, 209) for determining the position of the optical asymmetries. Thus the fiber can be rotated (207) during only this interval determining the curve more accurately by using more densely spaced measurement points within the interval. Such a determination is particularly suited for PM-fibers having very small optical asymmetries such as fibers having an elliptical core.

    摘要: For measuring and controlling the temperature of a splice portion between two optical fiber (1, 1') ends, during the splicing process when the material of the ends is heated to be fusioned, the time-dependency of the surface tension effect for viscous liquids is utilized. Then the fiber (1, 1') ends are placed for splicing with a relatively large lateral offset in the retainers (39) of fiber splicer and are spliced by the heat of an electric arc generated between the welding electrodes (43). The heating of the fiber ends is continued, whereby the offset of the fiber ends will gradually decrease due to the surface tension. The offset is then measured at different times during the continued heating and from these determined values and the times when they were measured the temperature of the heated fiber end portions is determined. This temperature value may then be compared to a predetermined set value for control of the heating of the splice region. Hereby also offset attenuators can be made having relatively accurate, predetermined attenuation values.

    摘要: Optical fiber attenuators are produced by splicing two fiber ends by melt-fusioning. The fiber ends are initially placed with a large lateral offset and the heating of the spliced portion is continued during a long time period to completely align the fiber ends, in particular the cores (3) and claddings (2) thereof, and to make material of the fibers cores (3) diffuse (23) into the neighbouring regions of the fiber claddings. By properly choosing the extended time for prolonged heating attenuators can be produced with a good repeatability. The prolonged heating period is significantly shortened by the use of a large initial offset.
