    摘要: A fiber optic connector comprises a housing member and ferrule members. The housing member is rigid and has a profiled bore extending therethrough. The bore has a central cylindrical bore portion, tapered bore portions on each side of the central cylindrical bore portion, and a support bore portion at the outer end of each tapered bore portion. The ferrule members are of resilient deformable material and are teminated onto fiber optic transmission members. Each ferrule member has a profiled front end comprising a front cylindrical section of slightly larger diameter than the central cylindrical bore portion, a tapered section slightly smaller than the corresponding tapered bore portion and an alignment section for tight engagement with the corresponding support bore portion. A coupling member engages shoulder members of the ferrule members urging the profiled front ends into the profiled bore with the front cylindrical sections tightly engaging the central cylindrical bore portion thereby applying a radial compressive force to the front cylindrical sections and centering the fiber optic transmission members and the alignment sections of the ferrule members tightly engaging the corresponding support bore portions of the housing member to maintain the ferrule members and their fiber optic transmission members therewithin in axial alignment when lateral forces are applied to the ferrule members.

    摘要: A continuously variable fiber optic attenuator 10, particularly for attenuating single mode fibers, has means 20 for supporting a section 25 of an optical fiber 24 substantially along the length of the section 25 and means 22 for bending at least a portion of the supported optical fiber section 25 in a controlled manner for attenuating light passing through the optical fiber 24. Preferably, the support means 20 comprises a deformable support means such as a spring 15 or an elastomeric body 71 for supporting the optical fiber 24 as it is bent. Most preferably, the deformable support means supports a section 25 of optical fiber 24 formed in one or more loops around the deformable support means, and the bending means is a plunger 22 movable to an extended position pressing against the support means 20 to bend portions of the loops of optical fiber 24 in a controlled manner. The fiber optic attenuator 10 of the present invention provides accurate control over the amount of attenuation of the light passing through the fiber 24 without damaging the optical fiber 24 or the signal passing therethrough.

    摘要: A connector for axially aligning a pair of optical waveguides is disclosed comprising a receptacle, a pair of plug members for positionment in the receptacle bore, and a pair of retention sleeves for positionment within respective plug members. Each plug member is adapted to receive a respective waveguide cable therein, and provides a forward alignment nose portion having a profiled opening receiving a forward end of the waveguide. The opening is defined by opposed V-grooves, with the V-grooves being separated by a transverse slot which extends through the alignment nose portion. The nose portion further includes external protrusion means for engaging the receptacle, and causing the opposed V-grooves to wedge against the waveguide extending therebetween. Each retention sleeve is received within a respective plug member, for inhibiting rearward withdrawal of the optical cable from the plug member.
