Abstract
Description
本発明は、複数本の光ファイバを隣接させて正確に保持し位置決めして固定するガラス毛細管に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a glass capillary for accurately holding, positioning, and fixing a plurality of optical fibers adjacent to each other.
従来より、１本の光ファイバにより伝達される信号を複数本の光ファイバに分波する場合、或いは複数本の光ファイバの信号を１本の光ファイバに合波する場合等において、複数本の光ファイバを保持固定する毛細管が使用される。例えば、２本の光ファイバを正確に並列保持し位置決めして固定する際、図５に示すように、２本の光ファイバ５、６を挿入する円形断面の挿入孔２を有する毛細管１が使用される。 Conventionally, when a signal transmitted by one optical fiber is demultiplexed into a plurality of optical fibers, or when signals from a plurality of optical fibers are multiplexed into one optical fiber, etc. A capillary that holds and fixes the optical fiber is used. For example, when two optical fibers are accurately held in parallel and positioned and fixed, a capillary tube 1 having a circular section insertion hole 2 for inserting the two optical fibers 5 and 6 is used as shown in FIG. Is done.
この毛細管１の挿入孔２の内径は、挿入する２本の光ファイバ５、６の高い位置決め精度を達成できるように、例えば、直径１２５μｍの石英系光ファイバでは、１〜５μｍの隙間を設定して高精度に製作されている。
しかしながら、毛細管１の挿入孔２が円形断面であるので、図５（Ａ）に示すように、２本の光ファイバ５、６が挿入孔２中で捻れた場合、挿入孔２の中心軸Ｐと光ファイバ５の光軸５ｂ及び光ファイバ６の光軸６ｂとが各々角度Δθ１、Δθ２を成して中心軸Ｐとは平行とならず、光ファイバ５、６の光軸５ｂ、６ｂは、Δθ１＋Δθ２の角度に広がってしまう。即ち、捻れた光ファイバ５、６と中心軸Ｐと平行に配置される光ファイバ５、６に対して配置された発光素子、受光素子、導波路形素子、光ファイバ等の光学素子とは、その相対位置が対応しなくなって接続損失が大きくなる問題がある。 However, since the insertion hole 2 of the capillary tube 1 has a circular cross section, when the two optical fibers 5 and 6 are twisted in the insertion hole 2 as shown in FIG. And the optical axis 5b of the optical fiber 5 and the optical axis 6b of the optical fiber 6 form angles Δθ1 and Δθ2, respectively, and are not parallel to the central axis P. The optical axes 5b and 6b of the optical fibers 5 and 6 are It spreads to an angle of Δθ1 + Δθ2. That is, optical elements such as a light emitting element, a light receiving element, a waveguide element, and an optical fiber disposed with respect to the twisted optical fibers 5 and 6 and the optical fibers 5 and 6 disposed in parallel with the central axis P are: There is a problem in that the relative position becomes incompatible and the connection loss increases.
また、図５（Ｂ）に破線及びその移動角度Δθ３で示すように、挿入孔２内で２本の光ファイバは回転ずれを起こし、光ファイバ５、６に対応する光学素子との相対位置を調節する必要がある。光ファイバの中にはシングルモードファイバと呼ばれる光信号が通るコアの径が５μｍ〜１０μｍと小さいものもあり、上記の相対位置を調節する作業は極めて困難となる問題がある。 Further, as indicated by a broken line and its movement angle Δθ3 in FIG. 5B, the two optical fibers are deviated in the insertion hole 2 and the relative positions of the optical elements corresponding to the optical fibers 5 and 6 are changed. It needs to be adjusted. Some optical fibers, called single-mode fibers, have a small core diameter of 5 μm to 10 μm through which an optical signal passes, and there is a problem that the operation of adjusting the relative position becomes extremely difficult.
本発明は、以上のような従来の問題点を解決した、複数本の光ファイバを隣接させて正確に保持し位置決めして固定できるガラス毛細管を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide a glass capillary tube that can solve a conventional problem as described above and that can accurately hold, position, and fix a plurality of optical fibers adjacent to each other.
本願発明に係るガラス毛細管は、延伸成形によって作製され、複数本の光ファイバを隣接させて正確に保持し位置決めして固定するガラス毛細管であって、断面が略正方形を呈し、直径Ｄの複数本の隣接する光ファイバを挿入する挿入孔を有しており、該挿入孔の相対向する内壁面の間隔Ｌと挿入される光ファイバの直径Ｄとが、（１＋２(n-2)/2）Ｄ＜Ｌ≦（１．０５＋２(n-2)/2）Ｄ（ただしｎは１以上の整数）の関係を満たすことを特徴とする。 The glass capillary tube according to the present invention is a glass capillary tube that is produced by stretch molding and that accurately holds, positions, and fixes a plurality of optical fibers adjacent to each other, and has a substantially square cross section and a plurality of diameter D And an interval L between the inner wall surfaces facing each other and the diameter D of the optical fiber to be inserted is (1 + 2 (n−2) / 2 ). D <L ≦ (1.05 + 2 (n−2) / 2 ) D (where n is an integer of 1 or more).
例えば、図１（Ｂ）に示すように、直径Ｄを有する２本の隣接する光ファイバをクリアランスなしに保持する略正方形の挿入孔の対向する内壁面の間隔Ｌと直径Ｄとの関係は、Ｌ＝（１＋２(1-2)/2）Ｄ、即ち、Ｌ＝（１＋１／√２）Ｄで表される。２本の光ファイバを挿入するためには、クリアランスが必要であるから挿入孔の間隔Ｌは、（１＋１／√２）Ｄ＜Ｌの条件を満たす必要がある。また、シングルモード光ファイバでは、直径Ｄに対する光信号が通るコアの径の比である５〜１０％であるので、２本の光ファイバの位置決め精度を少なくとも光ファイバ直径Ｄの約５％以内にするには、間隔Ｌは、Ｌ≦（１．０５＋１／√２）Ｄの関係を満たす必要がある。実際、１＋１／√２≒１．７１であり、１．０５＋１／√２≒１．７６であるから（１．７１）Ｄ＜Ｌ≦（１．７６）Ｄの関係を満たすことが必要となる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the relationship between the diameter L and the distance L between the opposing inner wall surfaces of a substantially square insertion hole that holds two adjacent optical fibers having a diameter D without clearance is: L = (1 + 2 (1-2) / 2 ) D, that is, L = (1 + 1 / √2) D. In order to insert two optical fibers, clearance is required, and therefore the interval L between the insertion holes must satisfy the condition of (1 + 1 / √2) D <L. Further, in the single mode optical fiber, the ratio of the core diameter through which the optical signal passes with respect to the diameter D is 5 to 10%, so that the positioning accuracy of the two optical fibers is at least within about 5% of the optical fiber diameter D. In order to achieve this, the interval L needs to satisfy the relationship L ≦ (1.05 + 1 / √2) D. Actually, since 1 + 1 / √2≈1.71, and 1.05 + 1 / √2≈1.76, it is necessary to satisfy the relationship of (1.71) D <L ≦ (1.76) D. .
本発明のガラス毛細管の挿入孔が、略正方形の断面であることについて説明する。一般に、ガラスを加熱してガラス管を延伸成形した場合、ガラス管の外表面には圧縮応力が、内面には引張応力が生じる。ガラスは引張応力が最大になる部位で破壊するので、通常、内面に引張応力が集中するような角張った形状にしないように、できる限り丸みを帯びた形状にする。本発明のガラス毛細管の挿入孔の断面形状は、角部に丸みを設けて円形に近い略正方形とすることにより、ガラス毛細管の内面に引張応力が集中することを避けて強度を確保しているものである。 The fact that the insertion hole of the glass capillary of the present invention has a substantially square cross section will be described. Generally, when a glass tube is stretch-formed by heating glass, a compressive stress is generated on the outer surface of the glass tube, and a tensile stress is generated on the inner surface. Since glass breaks at the site where the tensile stress is maximum, it is usually made as rounded as possible so as not to have an angular shape where the tensile stress is concentrated on the inner surface. The cross-sectional shape of the insertion hole of the glass capillary tube of the present invention is rounded at the corners to be a substantially square shape, thereby avoiding concentration of tensile stress on the inner surface of the glass capillary tube to ensure strength. Is.
また、本願発明のガラス毛細管は、挿入孔の少なくとも一方の開口端に、該挿入孔に滑らかに連続するフレア部が形成されてなることを特徴とする。 Further, the glass capillary of the present invention is characterized in that a flare portion that is smoothly continuous with the insertion hole is formed at at least one opening end of the insertion hole.
本発明のガラス毛細管は、延伸成形によって作製され、複数本の光ファイバを隣接させて正確に保持し位置決めして固定するガラス毛細管であって、断面が略正方形を呈し、直径Ｄの複数本の隣接する光ファイバを挿入する挿入孔を有しており、該挿入孔の相対向する内壁面の間隔Ｌと挿入される光ファイバの直径Ｄとが、（１＋２(n-2)/2）Ｄ＜Ｌ≦（１．０５＋２(n-2)/2）Ｄ（ただしｎは１以上の整数）の関係を満たすので、ガラス毛細管に複数本の光ファイバを挿入した際、複数本の光ファイバは捻れや回転ずれを起こさず、高い精度で隣接する光ファイバを保持し位置決めして固定することができる。 The glass capillary tube of the present invention is a glass capillary tube that is produced by stretch molding and accurately holds, positions, and fixes a plurality of optical fibers adjacent to each other. The glass capillary tube has a substantially square cross section and has a plurality of diameters D. It has an insertion hole for inserting an adjacent optical fiber, and the distance L between the opposing inner wall surfaces of the insertion hole and the diameter D of the optical fiber to be inserted are (1 + 2 (n−2) / 2 ) D. <L ≦ (1.05 + 2 (n−2) / 2 ) D (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1), so when a plurality of optical fibers are inserted into a glass capillary tube, the plurality of optical fibers are The adjacent optical fibers can be held, positioned, and fixed with high accuracy without causing twisting or rotational deviation.
また、挿入孔に滑らかに連続するフレア部が形成されてなるガラス毛細管によれば、複数本の光ファイバを略正方形の挿入孔に隣接させて容易に挿入できる。 Further, according to the glass capillary tube in which the flare portion smoothly formed in the insertion hole is formed, a plurality of optical fibers can be easily inserted adjacent to the substantially square insertion hole.

The same parts as those in FIG. 5 described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.
本発明のガラス毛細管は、膨張係数が５．２×１０-6／℃のホウ珪酸ガラスからなり、略管状の形状で外径が１．１４ｍｍ±０．００１ｍｍの寸法で高い真円度を有しており、その挿入孔２は、断面が略正方形を呈し、直径Ｄの複数本、例えば図１に示すように、２本の隣接する光ファイバ５、６を挿入する挿入孔２の相対向する内壁面の間隔Ｌと挿入される光ファイバの直径Ｄとが、（１＋２(n-2)/2）Ｄ＜Ｌ≦（１．０５＋２(n-2)/2）Ｄ（ただしｎ＝１）、即ち、（１．７１）Ｄ＜Ｌ≦（１．７６）Ｄの関係を満たすように、直径Ｄが１２５μｍの光ファイバ２本を保持する場合、挿入孔２の対向する内壁面の間隔Ｌが２１５μｍ±１μｍの寸法になっており、光ファイバ露出端面をガラス毛細管１内で正確に位置決めして保持できるようになっている。ガラス毛細管１の後端面１ｂには、光ファイバ５、６を挿入孔２に案内する開口径が約１ｍｍの略円錐形状のフレア部３が設けられている。 The glass capillary of the present invention is made of borosilicate glass having an expansion coefficient of 5.2 × 10 −6 / ° C., has a substantially tubular shape, and has a high roundness with an outer diameter of 1.14 mm ± 0.001 mm. The insertion hole 2 has a substantially square cross section and is opposed to the insertion hole 2 into which a plurality of diameters D, for example, two adjacent optical fibers 5 and 6 are inserted as shown in FIG. The distance L between the inner wall surfaces and the diameter D of the inserted optical fiber is (1 + 2 (n-2) / 2 ) D <L≤ (1.05 + 2 (n-2) / 2 ) D (where n = 1) ), That is, when holding two optical fibers having a diameter D of 125 μm so as to satisfy the relationship of (1.71) D <L ≦ (1.76) D, the distance between the inner wall surfaces of the insertion hole 2 facing each other L is a dimension of 215 μm ± 1 μm, so that the exposed end face of the optical fiber can be accurately positioned and held in the glass capillary tube 1. ing. The rear end face 1b of the glass capillary 1 is provided with a substantially conical flare portion 3 having an opening diameter of about 1 mm for guiding the optical fibers 5 and 6 to the insertion hole 2.
上記ガラス毛細管１を構成する材料としては、ホウ珪酸ガラスやリチウム−アルミナ−シリケイト系のガラスセラミックス等が使用可能である。材料の膨張係数は、保持する光ファイバが膨張係数の低い石英系の場合、１×１０-5／℃以下の低いものであることが好ましい。 As the material constituting the glass capillary tube 1, borosilicate glass, lithium-alumina-silicate glass ceramics, or the like can be used. The expansion coefficient of the material is preferably as low as 1 × 10 −5 / ° C. or lower when the optical fiber to be held is a quartz system having a low expansion coefficient.
上記のガラス毛細管１を製造する場合、加熱したガラス管の内面を真空にして金型に密着させて成形するシュリンク法や凹溝を設けた２本のガラス部材を溶着して張り合わせる方法等により略正方形の孔を有する予備成形体を作製し、その予備成形体を加熱して所定の断面寸法・形状に制御しながら所望の高い寸法精度の挿入孔２を有する毛細管に延伸形成する。得られた長尺の毛細管を所定長さに切断し、その一端にケミカルエッチング法等によりフレア部３を設けてガラス毛細管１を作製する。 When manufacturing the above-mentioned glass capillary tube 1, the inner surface of the heated glass tube is evacuated to make it adhere to the mold, and the shrink method or the method of welding and bonding two glass members provided with concave grooves are used. A preform having a substantially square hole is prepared, and the preform is heated and controlled to have a predetermined cross-sectional size and shape, and is stretched and formed into a capillary having an insertion hole 2 having a desired high dimensional accuracy. The obtained long capillary tube is cut into a predetermined length, and a flare portion 3 is provided at one end thereof by a chemical etching method or the like to produce a glass capillary tube 1.
以上のようにして得られたガラス毛細管１を用いて２本の隣接する光ファイバを位置決めする例を示す。図１に示すように、ガラス毛細管１の挿入孔２にフレア部３から、２本のシングルモードファイバ５、６を挿入して隣接させ、エポキシ樹脂接着剤９で固着し、端面１ａより突き出た光ファイバを除去した後、周知の方法により端面１ａを研磨してコネクタプラグ１０を作製した。 An example in which two adjacent optical fibers are positioned using the glass capillary tube 1 obtained as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, two single mode fibers 5 and 6 are inserted into the insertion hole 2 of the glass capillary tube 1 from the flare portion 3 so as to be adjacent to each other, fixed with an epoxy resin adhesive 9, and protruded from the end face 1a. After removing the optical fiber, the end face 1a was polished by a well-known method to produce a connector plug 10.
次に、図２に示すように、同様にして２本の光ファイバ７、８をガラス毛細管１に固着してコネクタプラグ１１を作り、双方の突き合わされる端面に屈折率整合材１２を塗布し、ガラス毛細管１の外径より１μｍだけ大きな内径を有するガラススリーブ１３の内孔１３ａに両側から挿入し、押圧ばね等を用いた適当な手段により突き合わせた端面１ａ同士の接触が維持されるように保持した。光ファイバ５から７への信号光の強度をモニターしながら相互にコネクタプラグ１０、１１を回転させて接続の最適位置に設定したときの接続損失値は、光ファイバ５から７及び６から８ともに０．３ｄＢ以下であった。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2, two optical fibers 7 and 8 are similarly fixed to the glass capillary 1 to form a connector plug 11, and a refractive index matching material 12 is applied to both end faces. The glass caps 1 are inserted into the inner holes 13a of the glass sleeve 13 having an inner diameter that is 1 μm larger than the outer diameter of the glass capillary tube 1 from both sides so that the contact between the end faces 1a abutted by appropriate means using a pressing spring or the like is maintained. Retained. The connection loss values when the connector plugs 10 and 11 are mutually rotated to set the optimum connection position while monitoring the intensity of the signal light from the optical fibers 5 to 7 are the optical fiber 5 to 7 and 6 to 8 respectively. It was 0.3 dB or less.
また、予備成形体を延伸形成し得られた長尺の毛細管を所定の長さに切断する前に、図１（Ａ）に示すように、直線状のマーカ１４を挿入孔２の中心軸と平行にガラス毛細管１の外表面に設け、その後切断してフレア部３を設けて一対のガラス毛細管１、１'を作成した。この一対のガラス毛細管１、１'を用いて前記と同様に２個のコネクタプラグ１０、１１を作製し、図２に示すように、ガラススリーブ１３に挿入した。光ファイバ５から７または６から８への光の接続損失を確認する代わりに、顕微鏡下で先に設けたマーカ１４の位置が、図２のように直線上になるようにコネクタプラグ１０、１１を回転させて位置決めした。このようにして得られた光ファイバの接続損失値は、光ファイバ５から７及び６から８ともに０．３ｄＢ以下となり、光信号をモニターしなくてもコネクタプラグ１０、１１を接続の最適位置に設定できることを確認した。 Further, before the long capillary tube obtained by stretching the preform is cut to a predetermined length, the linear marker 14 is connected to the central axis of the insertion hole 2 as shown in FIG. A pair of glass capillaries 1, 1 ′ were prepared in parallel on the outer surface of the glass capillary tube 1 and then cut to provide a flare portion 3. Using the pair of glass capillaries 1 and 1 ', two connector plugs 10 and 11 were produced in the same manner as described above, and inserted into the glass sleeve 13 as shown in FIG. Instead of confirming the connection loss of light from the optical fibers 5 to 7 or 6 to 8, the connector plugs 10 and 11 are arranged so that the position of the marker 14 previously provided under the microscope is on a straight line as shown in FIG. Was positioned by rotating. The connection loss values of the optical fibers thus obtained are 0.3 dB or less for both of the optical fibers 5 to 7 and 6 to 8, and the connector plugs 10 and 11 are brought to the optimum connection position without monitoring the optical signal. Confirmed that it can be set.
図３は本発明に係る他の実施の形態を示すものである。断面が略正方形を呈し（１．７１）Ｄ＜Ｌ≦（１．７６）Ｄの関係を満たすように、２本の光ファイバの直径Ｄ１２５μｍに対して対向する内壁面の間隔Ｌが２１５μｍ±１μｍである挿入孔２を有し、その両端にフレア部３を設けたガラス毛細管１を準備する。そのガラス毛細管１の挿入孔２内に予め屈折率整合材１２を注入し、両端のフレア部３から劈開切断された端面を有する４本のシングルモード光ファイバ５、６、７、８のうち光ファイバ５と７、６と８がそれぞれ突き合うように挿入し、突き合わせた端面同士の接触が維持されるように保持した。余分な屈折率整合材１２は、光ファイバの挿入時に略正方形の挿入孔２と光ファイバ５、６、７、８との隙間を通じて外部へ排出されるので、光ファイバ５、６、７、８の挿入に困難はなく、端面同士の接触界面に気泡が介在することもなかった。このとき、光ファイバ５から７及び６から８とも接続損失は０．３ｄＢ以下の良好な接続が達成された。本実施の形態の両端にフレア部３を設けたガラス毛細管１を用いれば、２本の光ファイバ同士を挿入孔２内で対向させ突き合わせるだけで、各光ファイバの光軸を正確に整合でき、高い品位の接続が直ちに達成できることを確認した。 FIG. 3 shows another embodiment according to the present invention. The distance L between the inner wall surfaces facing the diameter D125 μm of the two optical fibers is 215 μm ± 1 μm so that the cross section is substantially square and satisfies the relationship (1.71) D <L ≦ (1.76) D. The glass capillary tube 1 having the insertion hole 2 and having the flare portions 3 at both ends thereof is prepared. A refractive index matching material 12 is injected into the insertion hole 2 of the glass capillary tube 1 in advance, and light out of the four single mode optical fibers 5, 6, 7, 8 having end faces cleaved from the flare portions 3 at both ends. The fibers 5 and 7 and 6 and 8 were inserted so as to abut each other, and held so that the contact between the abutted end faces was maintained. The extra refractive index matching material 12 is discharged to the outside through the gap between the substantially square insertion hole 2 and the optical fibers 5, 6, 7, 8 when the optical fiber is inserted. There was no difficulty in insertion, and no bubbles were present at the contact interface between the end faces. At this time, a good connection with a connection loss of 0.3 dB or less was achieved in both the optical fibers 5 to 7 and 6 to 8. If the glass capillary tube 1 having the flared portions 3 provided at both ends of the present embodiment is used, the optical axes of the optical fibers can be accurately aligned only by facing and abutting the two optical fibers in the insertion hole 2. Confirmed that high-quality connections can be achieved immediately.
以上のように、本実施の形態のガラス毛細管１は、２本の隣接する光ファイバが挿入孔２内で捻れや回転ずれを起こさないので、それらのコア部５ａの相対位置を保持でき、正確かつ容易に所定の隣接位置に位置決めができるものである。 As described above, the glass capillary tube 1 according to the present embodiment can maintain the relative positions of the core portions 5a because two adjacent optical fibers do not twist or rotate in the insertion hole 2. And it can be easily positioned at a predetermined adjacent position.
上記実施の形態では、２本の隣接する光ファイバを接続する場合を示したが、これに限定されるものではなく、図４（ａ）〜（ｄ）に示すように、光ファイバが略正方形の断面の挿入孔内で安定する４本（ｎ＝２）、５本（ｎ＝３）、９本（ｎ＝４）、１３本（ｎ＝５）等、複数本の隣接する光ファイバを挿入できるガラス毛細管であればよい。 In the above embodiment, the case where two adjacent optical fibers are connected has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the optical fibers are substantially square as shown in FIGS. A plurality of adjacent optical fibers such as four (n = 2), five (n = 3), nine (n = 4), thirteen (n = 5), etc. that are stable in the insertion hole of the cross section of Any glass capillary can be used.
