    摘要: The first process for producing an optical fiber coupler includes a first step wherein at least one of the optical fibers to be used is stripped of the coating, a second step in which the bare portion of that optical fiber is heated for a predetermined time to diffuse the dopants, a third step wherein the other optical fibers which have not been heat-treated are stripped of their coating, a fourth step in which the bare portions of all the optical fibers are heated as they are brought into intimate contact, thereby forming a unitary portion, and a fifth step wherein the unitary portion is drawn via heating to form the coupling portion of an optical fiber coupler. The second process for producing an optical fiber coupler includes stripping the coating from at least one optical fiber, fixing the fiber so as to impart an axial stress thereto and then heating the bare portion of the stripped optical fiber thereby thinning the diameter of the heated portion, and then proceeding in the same manner as described with respect to the third through fifth steps of the first embodiment of the present invention. The processes according to the present invention enable a wide-band optical fiber coupler to be easily produced without using optical fibers of different structures but using optical fibers of identical structures.

    摘要: A method of reinforcing a multiple optical fiber coupling unit is provided including the steps of removing a portion of longitudinal coatings of optical fibers of the multiple optical fiber coupling unit to expose glass portions of said optical fibers; fusing a portion of the exposed glass portions so as to optically couple the optical fibers; extending the fused portion to a predetermined state; fixing non-extended portions of the exposed glass portions on a first reinforcing substrate with a first adhesive; and fixing the first reinforcing substrate on a second reinforcing substrate with a second adhesive. The multiple optical fiber unit coupler made by this method has a transmission characteristic that does not substantially change even with a temperature change and under high humidity.

    摘要: Optical fibers are fixed to elongating tables by optical fiber fixing jigs. Coatings are removed from portions of the fibers and respective fibers of two different groups are placed into tight contact with one another. The fibers are then heated by a gas burner 4A so as to be welded integrally with each other, and are then elongated. In one preferred embodiment, the fibers are arranged such that there are gaps therebetween. These gaps are substantially 250 .mu.m. The gaps are sufficiently wide that heating gas flows in a manner such that all the optical fiber strands are heated uniformly to make it possible uniform welding and elongation.

    摘要: Optical fibers are fixed to elongating tables by optical fiber fixing jigs. Coatings are removed from portions of the fibers and respective fibers of two different groups are placed into tight contact with one another. Rectifier rods, supported movably by rectifier rod supporting members, are disposed outside the optical fiber strands. The fibers are then heated by a gas burner 4A so as to be welded integrally with each other, and are then elongated. By using rectifier rods, the outside optical fiber strands of the groups being welded are not so strongly heated that uniform welding and elongation can be realized. In one preferred embodiment, the fibers are arranged such that there are gaps therebetween. These gaps are substantially 250 .mu.m. The gaps are sufficiently wide that heating gas flows in a manner such that all the optical fiber strands are heated uniformly to make it possible uniform welding and elongation.

    摘要: A reinforced structure for a multicore optical fiber coupler wherein a longitudinal coating resin of first and second multicore optical fibers, each having a plurality of optical fiber stands positioned in parallel arrangement to each other and each collectively coated with a respective coating resin, is partially removed so as to expose glass portions of the optical fiber strands of each of the optical fibers. The exposed glass portions are then fused and extended. The fused and extended portions are then accommodated in a plurality of grooves formed in a reinforcing casing. The non-extended portions, which are located on opposite ends of the fused and extended portions in the extending direction, are also accommodated on the surface of the reinforcing casing. The optical fibers are secured to the reinforcing casing with adhesive, which is applied to the non-extended portions of the fibers. The reinforcing casing is preferably made of a material having substantially the same coefficient of linear expansion as that of quartz.

    摘要: In a case where an arrayed optical fiber coupler obtained from a tape ribbon 1 is fixed to an reinforcement case 3, a glass portions 2b as a non-elongated portion outside of the elongated portions 2c of the coupler and a protection coating layers 2a at the back thereof are fixed to the reinforcement case 3 with an adhesive layer 4. A collectively coating resin layer 1a of the tape ribbon 1 is not fixed to the reinforcement case 3. The resin layer 1a is fixed to the reinforcement case 3 with a soft adhesive layer 5 different from the above adhesive layer 4, if necessary. As the resin of the adhesive layer 4, there is preferable an adhesive having the viscosity of 50 to 200 P and thermosetting property in addition to ultraviolet cure property.
