Abstract

UN DISPOSITIVO DE CONEXION DE FIBRAS OPTICAS INCLUYE UN PASO QUE TIENE LA FORMA DE UN EMBUDO O TOLVA EN AMBOS EXTREMOS DEL MISMO, Y EN EL CUAL SE VA A INTRODUCIR UNA FIBRA OPTICA DESDE CUALQUIER EXTREMO AL INTERIOR DEL PASO, DE FORMA QUE LAS FIBRAS SE ENCUENTREN UNAS A OTRAS EN EL INTERIOR. LA INVENCION SE CARACTERIZA PORQUE EL DISPOSITIVO DE CONEXION (1) INCLUYE UNA PRIMERA PARTE DE SILICIO (7) QUE TIENE UNA SUPERFICIE PLANA, EN LA QUE UNA O MAS RANURAS (8) EN FORMA DE SECCION TRANSVERSAL EN V HAN SIDO MORDENTADAS; EN QUE EL DISPOSITIVO DE CONEXION (I) INCLUYE UNA SEGUNDA PARTE (9) QUE ESTA HECHA DE CRISTAL TRANSPARENTE, Y QUE TIENE UN LADO PLANO QUE HA DE LIMITAR CON LA SUPERFICIE RANURADA DE LA PRIMERA PARTE (7), OBTENIENDOSE ASI UN CANAL DE SECCION TRANSVERSAL TRIANGULAR, EN EL QUE SE INSCRIBE UN CIRCULO QUE TENDRA UN DIAMETRO TAN SOLO LIGERAMENTE MAYOR QUE EL DIAMETRO EXTERNO DE UNA FIBRA OPTICA (5, 6).
