An optical fixed attenuator whose body is placed along the optical transmission direction is proposed. In this case, it is necessary to adjust the diameter of the rod-shaped body (optical fiber, etc.) made of the translucent material according to the amount of light attenuation, but since this adjustment is difficult, The structure is such that the amount of optical attenuation is adjusted by finely adjusting the amount of gap between the end faces of the optical fibers. However, in this case, there was a problem in that the larger the gap amount, the more the attenuation amount fluctuated depending on the distribution pattern of the light incident on the rod-shaped body.

以下、本発明の実施例を添付の図面に従って詳細に説明
する。Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

、フェルールを構成する材料は加熱温度以上の耐熱性を
有することが必要である。FIG. 1 shows a manufacturing process of a small-diameter optical fiber portion of a fixed optical attenuator according to the present invention. As shown in cross-sectional view (a), a plastic optical fiber 34 having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter determined according to the amount of optical attenuation of the through hole 32 formed in the ferrule 24, but sufficiently longer than the ferrule diameter, is
It is inserted into the through hole 32 and heated. The heating temperature must be higher than the glass transition temperature of the material constituting the plastic optical fiber, and in the case of a PMMA optical fiber, it is optimally about 120 to 200'C. Further, since it is undesirable for the ferrule portion to be deformed due to this, the material constituting the ferrule needs to have heat resistance higher than the heating temperature.
以上の工程の間に、プラスチック光ファイバは匡さ方向

ェルール内径と一致する。よって、予め光減衰量に応じ

を得ることができる。During the above steps, the plastic optical fiber contracts in the direction of its length and its diameter increases until it matches the inner diameter of the ferrule, as shown in FIG. 1(b). Therefore, if the inner diameter of the ferrule is determined in advance according to the amount of optical attenuation, a predetermined amount of optical attenuation can be obtained regardless of the diameter of the small optical fiber inserted into the ferrule.

とができる。Further, FIGS. 1C and 1D show an example of a method of fixing the optical fiber 34 to the ferrule 24. The optical fiber whose inner diameter was matched with the ferrule by the method described above was left at the tip slightly longer than the ferrule.
The optical fiber 34 is cut (C), and then both ends of the optical fiber 34 are heated to give a molten mirror finish (d). Thereby, it is possible to efficiently fix the optical fiber 34 to the ferrule 24 and process both end faces of the optical fiber at the same time.

The holder 22 is a cylindrical body whose length direction is in the light transmission direction, and in the right half thereof, a male threaded portion 26 having the same characteristics as the male threaded portion of the receptacle of the optical fiber connector is provided on the outer surface with an appropriate length. A through hole 28 for receiving an optical fiber similar to a receptacle of an optical fiber connector is formed inside.
また、左半部において、内面には光ファイバコネクタの

There is. However, at this time,
If the distance between the optical attenuator, the small diameter optical fiber end face 34a, and the optical fiber plug end face 2a is too large, the amount of optical attenuation will vary depending on the distribution pattern of the light incident on the attenuator, so the distance between the two may not cause collision. We need to close the distance.
