摘要:
By heat treating a glass member containing at least one kind of cation to constitute a modifying oxide in contact with a source of another kind of cation to cause ion substitution, a light-conducting glass structure can be produced to have a refractive index distribution wherein the index varies progressively transversely to the intended light path, which is thereby bent toward the direction of increase of the index, such a light-conducting glass structure is not accompanied by differences or lagging of phase velocities of conducted light rays, spreading of the light flux width, and reflection losses.

A method for manufacturing a GRIN lens includes the steps of forming a wet gel provided with a concentration distribution having a different concentration of a refractive index distribution imparting metal that differs in concentration in a radial direction, drying the wet gel to form a dry gel having a bulk specific gravity ρ (g/cm3), sintering the dry gel to form a GRIN lens base material and stretching the GRIN lens base material while heating. The method is characterized in that, in the step of sintering the dry gel, partial pressures of oxygen during sintering at 800° C. or higher are 10−1 Pa or lower and also the relation between a rate of temperature increase v (° C./hr) and a bulk density ρ of the dry gel during sintering at 1,000 to 1,150° C. is defined by v≦105*EXP (−12ρ). As a result of this, the GRIN lens, which has a large numerical aperture and a small diameter, can stably and easily be manufactured.
摘要:
An optical fiber coupling part that reduces the difficulty in adjusting cores, minimizes coupling loss, and prevents optical characteristics from deteriorating. An optical fiber is fused to one end of a GRIN lens which includes a quartz glass containing one or more refractive index regulating substances selected from Sb2O3, Ta2O5, TiO2 or ZrO2. Optical characteristics are not deteriorated because an adhesive is not used, and self-alignment effects facilitate adjustment of the cores of the GRIN lens and the optical fiber. Furthermore, coupling loss can be minimized by setting a refractive index distribution constant g of the GRIN lens within an appropriate range.
