Abstract

L'invention concerne un connecteur pour fibres optiques. Elle se rapporte à un connecteur comprenant deux manchons dans lesquels les fibres sont fixées, et un boîtier placé autour des manchons et maintenant l'alignement axial de ceux-ci et des fibres, en butée. Les manchons et les fibres sont choisis afin que, lorsque les extrémités communes sont polies dans des conditions choisies, les extrémités des fibres deviennent convexes et soient en retrait à l'intérieur du manchon. Application aux systèmes de communication par fibres optiques.
