摘要:
When plug is fitted to adapter, optical fiber is inserted to an alignment hole for the optical fiber. By providing a taper at the entrance thereof, even if the tip of the optical fiber is deviated from the central position, the deviation is absorbed to make it possible for the optical fiber to be inserted smoothly. When two plugs is fitted to adapter, the tip of one optical fiber is confronted with the other one in the alignment hole, and excessive length L.sub.1 -L.sub.2 is pushed into the two optical fiber-bending spaces with a suitable distribution, thus the optical fiber buckles therein. The end face of the optical fiber is subjected to flat surface-polishing, removal of ripples after being cleaved, or chamfer grinding after being cleaved. The buckling portion of the optical fiber is coated with carbon or the like.

Disclosed are optical fibers for optical attenuation comprising a core and a cladding, wherein the cladding comprises two or more parts different from each other in their refractive indices and/or the attenuating dopant existence. By using the optical fibers for optical attenuation of the present invention, an optical attenuator which can effectively reduce the effect of cladding mode upon coupling of optical fibers and is excellent in characteristic stability can be manufactured at a low cost.

摘要:
A cylindrical split alignment sleeve of ceramic material has an axial slit and is used in an optical fiber connector for connecting optical fibers to each other. In order to establish the strength reliability of the split ceramic alignment sleeve, a predetermined stress is applied to it by a test procedure ensuring no damage to the sleeve. According to the invention, a test load is applied to the inner circumferential surface of the split ceramic alignment sleeve by a loading part which includes stationary and movable members having inclined slidable contact surfaces. The sleeve is applied onto the load part and the movable member is displaced to apply load to the sleeve. The magnitude of load can be detected by deformation of the loading part or by displacement of the movable member.
