Abstract

Raccordement de fibres optiques à habillage en matériau plastique où une certaine longueur de l'habillage est enlevée sur une extrémité de la fibre et est remplacée par un revêtement métallique très réfléchissant. Les fibres raccordées de cette manière peuvent être épissées avec des dispositifs de raccordement de fibre classiques, sans craindre une séparation de l'âme due à la déformation de l'habillage en matériau plastique lorsque la fibre est soumise à une traction. Deux fibres comportant de tels revêtements métalliques sur leurs âmes peuvent être épissées en plaçant simplement les extrémités revêtues des fibres dans un tube métallique et en soudant ou en collant les extrémités de ce tube. On peut aussi accoupler de cette façon des fibres optiques à d'autres composants optiques, tels que des sources lumineuses et des détecteurs de lumière. Application au raccordement des fibres optiques.A termination of optical fibers with a plastic covering where a certain length of the covering is removed from one end of the fiber and is replaced by a highly reflective metallic covering. Fibers joined in this manner can be spliced with conventional fiber splice devices without fear of core separation due to deformation of the plastic covering when the fiber is subjected to tension. Two fibers having such metallic coatings on their cores can be spliced by simply placing the coated ends of the fibers in a metal tube and welding or gluing the ends of this tube. Optical fibers can also be coupled in this way to other optical components, such as light sources and light detectors. Application to the connection of optical fibers.
