    摘要: A method for making an optical fiber connector includes the following steps: Providing a casting mold having at least one casting cavity, and arranging at least one optical fiber assembly in the at least one casting cavity; Feeding plastic material into the at least one casting cavity; Solidifying the plastic material so as to form a plastic portion which solidifiedly bonds the at least one optical fiber assembly, where an end of the at least one optical fiber assembly emerges from the plastic portion, then removing a lower mold plate of the casting mold; Using a hard grinding disk to grind the end of the at least one optical fiber assembly; and Disposing the casting mold into an atomization facility, and atomizing lens material to the end of the at least one optical fiber assembly, acting with a manner of epicyclic gearing revolving therearound and with their own axes, so as to form a lens on the end of the at least one optical fiber assembly such that the lens is heated and solidified. Thereby, efficacy in producing optical fiber connectors can be improved. Also disclosed is a structure of the optical fiber connector, thus reliability of automated production of optical fiber connectors can be increased.

    摘要: Methods of forming a total-internal-reflection (TIR) optical fiber lens are disclosed. The methods include heating an end of an optical fiber with a defocused infrared laser beam to form a bulbous tip having a curved outer surface that defines a lens surface. The bulbous tip is laser cleaved to define a TIR facet. Light traveling in the fiber diverges at an effective fiber end and is reflected by the TIR facet through the lens surface to form an image at an image plane.

    摘要: An inclined surface-equipped lens includes a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface inclined relative to a plane perpendicular to an optical axis, and a corner portion formed by the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface being in contact with each other. Each inclined surface makes a predetermined inclination angle with the plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and the corner portion is located out of the optical axis and raised outward.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for constructing a light coupling system wherein a grating is manufactured on the surface of a multimode waveguide and defines the entrance of the waveguide for an incident light beam, said grating comprising a repetition of patterns. The grating is defined by a set of parameters comprising: •grating period (P), separating two adjacent patterns, •grating depth (d) between the highest and the lowest point of the pattern, •incident angle mean value (θ) of the incident light with respect to the waveguide. The method comprises a step of optimization of the set of parameters to obtain an optimized second set of parameters, in order to obtain a transmission efficiency (Ce) of the incident light into said waveguide for the first or the second diffractive order exceeding 35% for unpolarized light, or exceeding 50% for polarized light, at a given wavelength of the incident light.

    摘要: A mold for fabricating an optical fiber connector is disclosed. The optical fiber connector includes a blind hole for accommodating an optical fiber and an aspherical lens portion for optically coaxial with the optical fiber. The mold includes a rod-shaped core for forming the blind hole and a plate-shaped core. The plate-shaped core includes an aspherical recess for forming the lens portion. The aspherical recess faces the rod-shaped core, and is adjustably movable relative to the first core so as to achieve alignment between the aspherical recess and the rod-shaped core.
