Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce production cost without impairing the reliability of an optical fiber coupler by forming the title housing member and body of a plastic material integrally molded of a substrate for fixing the optical fiber coupler and a part of a casing for housing the substrate. CONSTITUTION:The special plastic which has the coefft. of linear expansion nearly equal to the coefft. of linear expansion of an optical fiber and allows easy molding to an intricate shape is adopted as the materials of the substrate 10 and housing 12 of the optical fiber coupler. The optical fiber coupler is fixed to the structural body integrally molded with the substrate 10 and the housing 12 which are heretofore separate. The time required for the fixing operation of the optical fiber coupler is thereby reduced and the working cost of the substrate 10 and the housings 9, 12 for fixing the optical fiber coupler is reduced and, therefore, the cost of producing the optical fiber coupler is reduced.

[Prior Art] A typical example of the structure of an optical fiber coupler is shown in FIG. 2, which is fabricated by fusion-stretching two bare fibers 1^ and IB that are brought into close contact with each other in parallel while heating. . Since the cores 2^ and 2B of the two optical fibers are close to each other in the stretched and thinned portion 4, when light passes through one optical fiber, the light leaks into the other optical fiber. 3A
, 3B is a cladding. An example of the results of measuring the intensity IB+10 of the light entering the optical fiber coupler from the A end of the optical fiber coupler shown in Fig. 2 and emitting from the B end and D end is shown in Fig. 3. varies depending on the wavelength of light,
In the example shown in FIG. 3, 50% of the light with a wavelength of 1.3 μm is emitted from the P end and the D end. Therefore, an optical fiber coupler that exhibits the characteristics shown in Figure 3 has a 3 dB
Can be used as a turnout. 3dB of other wavelength bands
A branch can also be realized by changing the stretching length of the fused stretching section.

However, the fact that the characteristics of the optical fiber coupler change depending on the length of the stretch means that it is easily affected by distortion caused by external forces, so care must be taken when fixing it to the substrate so that external force is not applied to the fused and stretched part. There is a need.

It is fixed to the housing by 7C. At this time, by fixing the substrate to the housing at one point, deformation of the housing due to external force is prevented from reaching the substrate, that is, the fused and stretched portion. Also, coat the bare fiber with the adhesive 7 at the coated removed ends 5C and 5D of the optical fiber coupler.
The coated fiber 5^ on the outside of the housing 8 is fixed by fixing with D and 7E to prevent the bare fiber and the coat from slipping.
Even if an external force is applied to the 5B portion, it is prevented from reaching the fused and stretched portion. The substrate and housing are made of quartz glass, which has a coefficient of linear expansion approximately equal to that of the optical fiber (coefficient of linear expansion 7).
X 10-'), heat-resistant glass (linear expansion coefficient 3

In IL-5TD-8100 test number 503.2), vibration test (same test number 514.3), etc., the variation in branching ratio was 1% or less, and it had sufficient reliability for practical use.

3(a) is a front view, and FIG. 2(b) is a side view. Substrate lO
and the housing base 9 are connected at one point at 11 shown in the figure. The material is a liquid crystal polymer with the lowest coefficient of linear expansion among plastics (coefficient of linear expansion 3 x 10-
'), and in particular, the substrate portion is filled with long glass fibers parallel to the longitudinal direction of the optical fiber coupler. An optical fiber coupler is fixed to this using an ultraviolet curable adhesive, and the housing cover 12 is placed over it and fixed by ultrasonic welding. This fixing method eliminates the need for fixing work between the board and the housing, which was required in the past. In addition, by employing a liquid crystal polymer, which is a thermoplastic resin, as the material of the housing, it is possible to use ultrasonic fusion means that can be fixed for a short period of time within several seconds. As a result, the time required for fixing the optical fiber coupler is significantly reduced.

Furthermore, since the structure shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured in large numbers at the same time by means of injection molding, processing costs are significantly lower than in conventional glass structures. Above, an example was shown in which a liquid crystal polymer was used as the material for the substrate and housing. However, the liquid crystal polymer is a polyester copolymer containing parahydroxybenzoic acid, and due to the difference in molecular structure, the heat distortion temperature is 64 to 350. There are things like °. Here, from the viewpoint of moldability and ultrasonic weldability, the most suitable material has a heat deformation temperature of 180 to 240°C.

The second embodiment of the present invention has the same structure as that shown in FIG. It is filled with Since ultrasonic welding cannot be used with epoxy resin, it is necessary to use a quick-drying, thermosetting adhesive or an anaerobic UV-curing adhesive to fix the housing cover. This fixing method also does not require fixing work between the board and the housing, so the time required for fixing the optical fiber coupler is considerably reduced compared to the conventional method.
