摘要:
The present invention relates to an optical fiber connector, comprising a housing shell configured to mate with a receptacle a gripping device to grip an optical fiber, the gripping device including a fiber gripping element and an actuating cap configured to engage the gripping element, wherein the actuation cap comprises a first cap and a second cap, wherein the first cap secures the gripping element in the housing shell and wherein the second cap actuates the gripping element, and a collar body disposed in the housing, the collar body including a ferrule securely disposed in an opening of the collar body, the ferrule including a central bore that defines an axis, and a housing portion disposed in a generally central portion of the collar body and having an opening to receive the gripping device, wherein the gripping element comprises a fiber gripping channel to clamp an optical fiber received therein upon actuation by the actuating cap, wherein the actuating cap is registered to the collar body, wherein the ferrule is axially moveable independent of the axial movement of the optical fiber and gripping device, wherein the collar body and actuation cap are formed of a first material, wherein the gripping element is formed of a second material, and wherein the first and second materials each have a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) such that a relative position of an end of the optical fiber gripped in the gripping device with respect to an end of the ferrule is maintained over a temperature range of at least 100°C.
摘要:
A cable gripping structure for securing an optical fiber cable in an optical fiber connector possesses a base part and a pair of support walls disposed opposite one another on the base part, and blade parts for gripping the optical fiber cable are disposed on the pair of support walls, at the tip ends thereof and separated from the bases of the support walls.

A test system for checking a splice connection between a fiber optic connector and one or more optical fibers includes a body, an adapter movable relative to the body between a first position and second position, and an optical power delivery system. The adapter has a first connector receiving area configured to interface with a first type of fiber optic connector and a second connector receiving area configured to interface with a second type of fiber optic connector. The optical power delivery system is configured to deliver light energy to the first connector receiving area when the adapter is in the first position and the second connector receiving area when the adapter is in the second position. Related methods and installation tools incorporating such test systems are also disclosed.

An optical fiber splicing tool of the invention include: an optical fiber splicing unit (10) that includes: a mechanical splice holder that holds a mechanical splice (30); an optical fiber grasper (70) that grasps a first optical fiber at one end side of the mechanical splice (30); and a guide target that is slidable along a guide provided at a connecting jig (110) that fixes a second optical fiber to be butt-jointed to the first optical fiber; and a connecting jig (110) that includes: a guide that guides the optical fiber splicing unit (10); and an optical fiber fixer (90) that fixes the second optical fiber. The optical fiber splicing unit (10) provides a first flexure width (L1) between one end side of the mechanical splice (30) and the optical fiber grasper (70), and a second flexure width (L2) shorter than the first flexure width (L1) is ensured between the other end side of the mechanical splice (30) and the optical fiber fixer (90) when butt-jointing is carried out.
摘要:
A liquid crystal member (13) has liquid crystal pixels that reflected light output from a first fiber (11). A second fiber (15) has a core to which a first order light ray in the light reflected by the liquid crystal member (13) is optically connected. A light receiving unit (16) receives higher order light rays in the light reflected by the liquid crystal member (13). A control unit (17) controls based on a light receiving result of the light receiving unit (16), efficiency of optical connection of the first order light ray to the core of the second fiber (15), by varying an angle of the light reflected by the liquid crystal member (13).
