Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide sufficient mechanical strength to the adjoining part of optical fibers of an optical demultiplexing and multiplexing circuit by convering >=2 optical fibers with a protection member, and heating the center part and drawing the optical fiber and protection member in one body. CONSTITUTION:Optical fibers 1 and 2 are inserted into a quartz glass tube 3 while twisted previously and the center part of the quartz glass tube 3 is heated and drawn to form an adjoining part 4. The adjoining part 4 of the optical fibers 1 and 2 decrease in external diameter as a result of the heat drawing and both fibers 1 and 2 adjoin to each other while their cores are made thin to allow coupling between propagation modes, so that a light beam incident from the incidence terminal 5 of the optical fiber 1 is guided out from projection terminals 7 and 8 of the optical fibers 1 and 2 at, for example, a 1:1.2 intensity ratio. The mechanical strength of the adjoining part 4 is much larger than before because the quartz glass tube 3 and optical fibers 1 and 2 are united by fusion.

In this example, the adjacent parts of two single-mode fibers are thinned to the same diameter as the core by chemical etching, and after being twisted and fused together, they are loaded into a heat-resistant glass tube to form an optical branch circuit. This is what I did. In this method, the diameter of the adjacent portion of the fiber is reduced to about 10 micrometers, so the adjacent portion of the fiber in the completed optical branch circuit has the disadvantage that it is mechanically very weak and easily breaks.
