    Abstract: A device for coupling an incoming light conducting fiber cable to an outgoing light conducting fiber cable characterized by at least one housing and means secured in the housing for holding the end faces of the light conducting fibers of each cable in centered relationship to each other and for optically interconnecting the ends faces of the light conducting fibers of the incoming cable to the end faces of the light conducting fibers of the outgoing cable. The means includes at least one holder having a guide body with guide channels for the light conducting fibers extending inward from one surface of the body and a cover member disposed on the guide body to close off the guide channels so that the light guiding fibers disposed in the channels are held therein. The guide body of each channel is preferably produced by a series of production steps while in a flat state either by mechanically forming the grooves, depositing material to form the grooves or developing a layer of material by a photolithographic process. Subsequent to forming the grooves, the guide body may be wound and secured on a cylindrical substrate so that the channels are disposed on a curved surface. The device may have a single holder to form a non-detachable connecting device, a pair of holders which are secured in an aligned position and form a detachable coupling device or a pair of holders mounted for relative rotation to form an optical switch.

    Abstract: An output/input coupler for multi-mode glass fibers characterized by a substrate and a main line having a square cross section disposed on the substrate and having at least one branch line extending on said substrate therefrom with the branch line having a rectangular cross section smaller than the cross section of the main line and having one surface coplanar with the surface of the main line. The branch line may have the same thickness as the main line with a reduced width or may have both a reduced thickness and width. In one embodiment, the branch line extends as an arc and may terminate in an end line which has a square cross section equal to the cross section of the main line and extends at an angle to the main line. In another embodiment, the branch line extends rectilinearly and may terminate in an end line which extends parallel to the main line and has a square cross section equal to the square cross section of the main line. The coupler may be formed by stamping the coupler from a sheet of material or by using a photolithographic process to form the coupler from a layer of photosensitive material. If the coupler has branch lines with a thickness less than the thickness of the main line, the photolithographic process includes developing a first layer or foil of photosensitive material to form part of the main line and the branch line and then developing a second applied layer to produce the remaining portion of the main line.

    Abstract: A method for producing a light conductor structure having a pair of light conductors embedded in a substrate of an electro-optical material and having an electrode arranged between the light conductors, which structure is particularly adapted to be used as an electrically controllable coupler, characterized by providing a substrate, applying electrodes to the desired surface area of the substrate, and then producing the light conductors by doping the substrate utilizing the electrodes as a doping mask. Preferably, the electrodes are applied by covering the entire surface of the substrate with the metal layer or with an adhesive layer followed by a metal layer, applying a photo lacquer layer on the metal layer, exposing the photo lacquer layer with an appropriate mask, developing the photo lacquer layer to expose portions of the metal layer in the areas where the electrodes are not desired, etching the exposed portions of the metal layer and the underlying adhesive layer to expose surface areas of the substrate in the area where the light conductors are to be formed.

    Abstract: A method of producing a light conductor structure or controllable coupler having a pair of light conductors embedded in a substrate of an electro-optical material and having electrodes arranged therebetween characterized by applying a layer of polycrystalline silicon on one surface of the substrate; etching away a portion of the layer to form a doping or diffusion mask; applying a layer of diffusion material on the mask and exposed silicon-free portions of the surface; diffusing the diffusion material into the silicon-free portions to form the light conductors; applying a layer of negative acting photo-lacquer on the layer of diffusion material and the conductors; projecting light through the substrate with the remaining portions of the silicon layer acting as a mask to expose the photo-lacquer; developing the layer of photo-lacquer to remove unexposed portions with the remaining portions of the lacquer covering the light conductors; removing the remaining portions of the silicon layer; applying a metal layer on the one surface to form the electrodes; and then removing the photo-lacquer layer with the metal disposed thereon from the light conductors.

    Abstract: A method for the production of single-material optical fibers having a light conducting core supported within a protective sleeve by at least one extremely thin support component characterized by providing a blank having a core and at least one support component disposed within a protective sleeve, heating the blank to a drawing temperature, drawing the blank into a form of an optical fiber and either during the drawing or subsequent thereto, transversely stretching the support component to reduce the ratios of the thickness of the support component to its transverse width and to the thickness of the core of the fiber. In one embodiment of the invention, subsequent to the drawing, a fluid such as a gas under excessive pressure is applied internally to the protective sleeve to expand and inflate the sleeve to transversely stretch the support component. In a second embodiment of the invention, a transverse stretching of the support component is accomplished by asymmetric radial deformation of a circular or noncircular fiber or blank.
