この発明は、反射形光応用センサシステムの光信号伝送
路に用いた光ファイバ接続用の光コネクタに関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an optical connector for connecting optical fibers used in an optical signal transmission path of a reflective optical sensor system.
まず第2図により距離測定器といて構成した躍起反射形
光応用センサシステムの概要を説明する。First, an outline of a reflective optical sensor system configured as a distance measuring device will be explained with reference to FIG.

ータ等から成る距離算出用の信号処理器である。In the figure, 1 is a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode or a semiconductor laser, 2 is a three-terminal bidirectional optical branch/coupler, 3 is an optical connector, 4 is an optical fiber serving as a signal transmission path, and 5 is an optical fiber 4. A probe is attached to the tip, 6 is a mirror facing the probe 5, 7 is a light receiving element, and 8 is a signal processor for distance calculation consisting of a microcomputer and the like.

7を測定する際の測定誤差の大きな原因となっていた。On the other hand, the return light beam RAY2 reflected by the mirror 6 enters the probe 5, and the optical fiber 4. Optical connector 3° optical branch/
The signal passes through the coupler 2 and is photoelectrically converted by the light receiving element 7. Further, the signal processor 8 calculates the distance 11j between the probe 5 and the mirror 6 and outputs it as a digital signal. In this case, the relationship between the light-receiving energy of the light-receiving element 7 and the measurement path @2 is attenuated in a quadratic curve as the distance Htt becomes longer, as shown in FIG. On the other hand, the light receiving energy received by the light receiving element 7 is the energy reflected by the mirror 6 and the output light RAYI at the optical fiber connection end face of the optical connector 3.
Therefore, the reflected energy due to Fresnel reflection inside the optical connector is unstable, and this Fresnel loss is the sum of the reflected energy due to Fresnel reflection.
This was a major cause of measurement error when measuring 7.

ている。As a countermeasure for this, in the past, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the optical branch/coupler 2 and the optical fiber 4 in FIG.
As an optical connector 3 that connects optical fibers between
In particular, a plug on the optical branch/coupler side is known in which the end face of the plug including the optical fiber is obliquely polished. Furthermore, the fourth
The figure is a partial sectional view of an optical connector, and FIG. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of an optical fiber connection part in the optical connector. In the figure, 9 is the core wire of the optical fiber, and 10 and 11 are plugs that connect to each other. 3 is the plug on the optical branching/coupling device 2 side in FIG. As shown by the polished surface 15, the end faces of the plug including the end face of the optical fiber 9 are obliquely polished to an angle of inclination Φ as shown in the figure, and the connection end face between the plugs 10 and 11 is indicated by the reference numeral 16. Air gaps are present.
上記の斜研磨形光コネクタの採用により、第5図に示す
ように発光素子側から光分岐・結合器を経て光ファイバ
9のコア14内を伝搬して来た光線17の伝搬特性は次
式のよう関係となる。すなわち図において、

−’NA (NAは光ファイバのニエーメリカルアパー
チ中)で表される光ファイバ内を伝搬可能な光線の入射
ないし出射臨界角、Φは斜研磨角度である。By employing the above-mentioned obliquely polished optical connector, the propagation characteristics of the light ray 17 that has propagated from the light emitting element side through the optical splitter/coupler and inside the core 14 of the optical fiber 9 can be expressed by the following formula, as shown in FIG. The relationship is as follows. That is, in the figure, arwa〃π−θa −(%yr−Φ) −・・−−−
−−−−−−−(1) However, θa is θa = 5in
The critical angle of incidence or exit of a ray of light that can propagate in an optical fiber is expressed by -'NA (NA is the neutral aperture of the optical fiber), and Φ is the oblique polishing angle.
ここで斜研磨角ΦをΦ〉θaとなるように選択すれば、

なる。Here, if the oblique polishing angle Φ is selected so that Φ〉θa,
Above (in equation 11, θr > O, therefore core 13
The light reflection angle Φr with respect to the core central axis at the obliquely polished end face is Φ
r>θa, and the reflected return light from the end face of the optical connector becomes a radiation mode into the cladding 14 and does not propagate within the optical fiber (this makes it possible to reduce Fresnel reflections).
ところで上記した斜研磨形光コネクタを、第2図に示し

クタでも実用的にフレネル反射防止に充分対応できる。By the way, when the above-described obliquely polished optical connector is adopted for optical fiber connection between the optical branch/coupler 2 and the optical fiber 4 of the optical signal transmission line in the reflective optical sensor system shown in FIG. The following problems remain. That is, in general, the nominal NA of an optical fiber is a value when the optical fiber is sufficiently long, for example, IKm, and the NA
When the oblique polishing angle is Φ-15 degrees with an optical fiber of -0.21 degrees, the connection loss of the optical connector increases by about 0.5 dB at most compared to the case where the angle is Φ-0 degrees. Therefore, for long-distance optical fibers, the NA-0
Even an optical connector with an oblique polishing angle of Φ-15 degrees for an optical fiber with an angle of 21 degrees can be practically used to prevent Fresnel reflection.
しかしながら第2図における光コネクタ3のように光分
岐・結合器2と光コネクタ3との間の光ファイバの長さ
が極端に短い寸法である場合には様子が変わり、第5図
で述べたθ8が大となる。However, the situation changes when the length of the optical fiber between the optical splitter/coupler 2 and the optical connector 3 is extremely short, as in the optical connector 3 in Fig. 2, and the situation changes as described in Fig. 5. θ8 becomes large.
すなわち公称NA値が0.21であっても、光ファイバ
が極端に短い寸法であると実際にはNA値がもっと大き
くなり1に近い、値となる。したがって前記(1)式で
θr>0とするためには、斜研磨角ΦをAπにより近づ
ける必要がある。That is, even if the nominal NA value is 0.21, if the optical fiber has extremely short dimensions, the NA value will actually be much larger, approaching 1. Therefore, in order to make θr>0 in the above equation (1), it is necessary to bring the oblique polishing angle Φ closer to Aπ.
しかも斜研磨角Φを大に選定すると、第6図に示すよう

gapで表す空隙16がが増大する。Moreover, if the oblique polishing angle Φ is selected to be large, the center distance j of the core end surface of the optical fiber between the plugs is reduced as shown in FIG.
The void 16, represented by gap, increases.
この結果として光コネクタの接続損失が大幅に増す不具
合が生じて実用に供し得なくなる。As a result, a problem arises in which the connection loss of the optical connector increases significantly, making it impossible to put it into practical use.

る。An object of the present invention is to use an optical connector for connection between an optical branch/coupler on the transmitter/receiver side and an optical fiber of an optical signal transmission line in a reflective optical sensor system as shown in the second aspect. An object of the present invention is to provide an optical connector that can effectively prevent Fresnel reflection at the optical fiber connection end face while suppressing an increase in connection loss of the optical connector even when the length of the optical fiber is extremely short. be.

損失の低減化が図れるようになる。As mentioned above, when connecting optical connectors, by filling the connection gap between the obliquely polished plug and the mating plug with matching oil, the change in refractive index between the optical fiber connection end faces can be reduced. In addition to the effect of oblique polishing, the Fresnel reflection generated at the end face of the optical fiber can be significantly reduced even if the optical fiber is extremely short. Moreover, by filling the mating oil, there is no gap between the end faces of the plug, and the connection loss of the optical connector can be reduced accordingly.

体的に、例えば光ファイバのNA値が0.21であれば
斜研磨角Φを約15麦稈度とするのがよい。This matching oil 18 is a highly transparent oil that has a refractive index approximately equal to the refractive index of the core of the optical fiber 9, and when connecting the optical connector, the matching oil 18 is applied to the tip of the plug. Then, the plugs 10 and 11 are butt-connected via the adapter 12. As a result, the gap between the plugs 10 and 11 is filled with the matching oil 1B. Note that the bevel polishing angle Φ in the plug 10 is Φ<5 from the nominal NA value of the optical fiber.
The angle is selected such that the distance between the core centers of the optical fibers does not increase too much while satisfying the in-' NA. Specifically, for example, if the NA value of the optical fiber is 0.21, it is preferable to set the oblique polishing angle Φ to about 15 culm degrees.

で接続損失も大幅に低減できるようになる。According to the above configuration, the change in the refractive index of the optical fiber connection end between the plugs of the optical connector is caused by the matching oil 18.
In addition to the effect of oblique polishing, the Fresnel reflection generated at the connecting end face of the optical fiber can be significantly reduced compared to the conventional structure. Since no trace remains, connection loss can also be significantly reduced.

能である。Note that if the optical fiber is a step index type optical fiber, the refractive index of the core of the optical fiber and the refractive index of the matching oil can be set to the same value in principle. In addition, in the case of graded-index optical fibers, although there is a distribution in the refractive index of the core, the change is very small.
This is a change of less than two digits after the decimal point. Therefore, it is possible to match the refractive index of the matching oil and the refractive index of the core within the range of at least one decimal place over the entire core region.

It is possible to provide an optical connector with high practical effects for optical fiber connection in a reflective optical sensor system, such as minimizing Fresnel reflection and connection loss at the connection end surface of the optical connector.
