摘要： An optical fiber bonding scheme provides improved bonding properties and improved lifetime for non-hermetic fiber optic packages such as OSAs. The bonding scheme includes an optical fiber bonded to a substrate surface with an epoxy and a diffusion retarding plate covering the epoxy. The diffusion retarding plate prevents moisture absorption by the top surface of the epoxy and the large footprint of the epoxy provides a long diffusion path which produces a lower water concentration gradient within the epoxy, restricts lateral diffusion of absorbed water molecules within the epoxy, and produces an extremely saturation resistant epoxy. The diffusion retarding plate may further include legs that bound opposed sides of the epoxy providing further saturation resistance.

摘要： This invention is directed to a fiber attachment including a hot pad and solder glass that attaches an optical fiber to the hot pad. The attached is formed by positioning the optical fiber over the hot pad and aligning the optical fiber. The optical fiber is then raised and solder glass preforms are positioned on the hot pad. Heat is applied to the glass preforms such that they melt. Once the preforms are melted, the optical fiber is lowered into the molten solder glass. The current is then removed and the solder glass solidifies as it cools to form an attachment between the optical fiber and the hot pad.

摘要： A method and apparatus for bonding optical fibers are disclosed. A fiber bonding device feeds an optical fiber through a supportive sheath having a ceramic tip at its end. The optical fiber extends slightly beyond the ceramic tip and is aligned with the focal point of a laser, which causes the end of the optical fiber to melt, forming a molten region. The ceramic tip then extends partially into a substrate surface, causing the molten region of the optical fiber to become bonded to the substrate. The process is controlled by computer logic, such that it is an automated, precision process for bonding optical fibers.

摘要： A fiber optic splitter package and method are provided for protecting a fiber optic splitter assembly while preventing adverse affects from temperature cycling. The fiber optic splitter package includes a housing, a fiber optic splitter assembly, and a flexible retainer member that holds the fiber optic splitter assembly in the housing. The flexible retainer member has a modulus of about 30 to about 80 on a Shore A hardness scale, thereby insulating the fiber optic splitter assembly from stress due to differences in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the housing and the fiber optic splitter assembly.

摘要： An optical fiber assembly having a hermetic seal portion includes a optical fiber assembly and a metal pipe. The optical fiber assembly includes a metallized portion where a portion exposed by peeling off a resin coating of the optical fiber assembly is coated with metal. The metal pipe includes a feedthrough hole, an uncovered portion, a brazed portion and an adhesive-fixed portion. The feedthrough hole has a length necessary to cover a part of the metallized portion and a part of the coated portion leading to one end of the metallized portion. The uncovered portion has a housing groove leading to the feedthrough hole and contains a remainder of the metallized portion and a part of the coated portion leading to the other end of the metallized portion. The brazed portion hermetically seals the optical fiber assembly to the metal pipe by brazing the metallized portion and the inner surface of the feedthrough hole near a slanted upward opening of the feedthrough hole on the housing groove side. The adhesive-fixed portion allows the optical fiber assembly to be disposed on the uncovered portion adhere to the metal pipe and fixed thereto.

摘要： A method for manufacturing an optical fiber array by connecting bare fibers to connection elements in a facing arrangement, comprising a step of aligning a plurality of bare fibers using a bare-fiber guide; a step of bringing a flat member into contact with the aligned bare fibers, tacking the bare fibers onto the flat member by direct or indirect bonding means while keeping the bare fibers sandwiched between the bare-fiber guide and the flat member, and separating the bare fibers and the bare-fiber guide thereafter; and a step of forming a coating of uncured material on the external peripheral surfaces of the tacked bare fibers and on the flat member exposed between the bare fibers, curing this material, and bonding the bare fibers to the flat member. This method dispenses with the need to provide a bare fiber guide member and allows manufacturing costs to be reduced.
