Abstract

Méthode de raccordement bout à bout de deux fibres optiques de même section. Un élément de couplage Il de même nature (tronçon de fibre) et de même section que les fibres optiques à raccorder est monté dans la partie centrale d'un manchon en verre 10. La partie centrale du manchon est ensuite chauffée de façon qu'elle se rétracte sur le tronçon de fibre pour le maintenir et que le manchon conserve son diamètre initial aux deux extrémités. Par ces dernières, les extrémités dénudées des fibres à raccorder sont introduites jusqu'à toucher l'élément 11 et maintenues par une substance adhésive. Deux ouvertures 12 peuvent être prevues dans le manchon de part et d'autre de l'élément de couplage pour l'évacuation de bulles d'air éventuellement créées dans l'adhésif dans la zone de couplage optique.End-to-end connection method of two optical fibers of the same section. A coupling element II of the same type (fiber section) and of the same section as the optical fibers to be connected is mounted in the central part of a glass sleeve 10. The central part of the sleeve is then heated so that it retracts over the fiber section to hold it and the sleeve retains its original diameter at both ends. By the latter, the stripped ends of the fibers to be connected are introduced until they touch the element 11 and held by an adhesive substance. Two openings 12 may be provided in the sleeve on either side of the coupling element for the evacuation of air bubbles possibly created in the adhesive in the optical coupling zone.
