Description of the Invention (1) Application Information Related to the Invention This application is a US Patent Application Serial No. 08/577 filed on December 22, 995, Subsequent sections of application No. 508. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a fiber-optic optical interconnection system, especially a large-scale parallel optical interconnection system. It is known in the art that optical fiber connectors with multiple optical fibers 3 are needed for larger bandwidth applications. Such multi-fiber connectors are gradually becoming necessary. 3 Generally, the optical fiber array is placed by etching from a silicon material. V-grooves' to provide precise positioning of the fiber. Precisely positioning the fiber on the silicon block is absolutely necessary so that when the two connectors are connected, the fiber can be aligned as close as possible to limit any signal loss. The use of silicon blocks is very effective because V-grooves can be etched very accurately. In this technique, the method of etching silicon blocks is generally known, and gradually a standard non-isotropic etchant is used, such as ethylenediamine. Resorcinol (ethyIene diamine pyrocatechoi (EDP)) or KOH is used in combination with standard etch mask materials, such as thermally-grown silicon dioxide. However, in cases where automated assembly is required, it is difficult to place silicon blocks in the outer frame and ensure proper alignment when the two silicon blocks are connected. Also, silicon is a hard and brittle substance that is not easy to polish and easy to crack. For other multi-fiber connectors that use a silicon block, place the silicon block in an outer frame, and place several racks protruding from the connector next to the silicon block. It takes a lot of time to install the 2 connector with a silicon block, a rack, an optical fiber, and an outer frame. In other designs, the rack is inserted into the silicon block. In this device, the connector with a protruding rack and a connector without a rack (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page)- 4 °

The plug body 1 There is an opening in it. 6 penetrates it (see Figure 2). 3 This opening 16 communicates with the end face 15 of the plug body 10 and the cable inlet end 12. The tube 30 that extends beyond the end face 15 is the sleeve 30. Figure itMp optics The connector 5 is shown in a fully assembled form and includes a sleeve j0 having an optical fiber 50 terminated therein. The sleeve includes a first half sleeve 31 and a second half sleeve 32 made of a polymer material. The first half casing 31 and the second half casing (32) are adjacent to each other at the "first main surface 41 of the first half casing 31 and the second main surface of the second half casing 32". In a specific example, each of the half-tubes 31, 32 includes a V-shaped groove on its main surfaces 41, 42. The 疋 fiber 50 is disposed within the V-shaped groove. »In a specific example, Showing 12 optical fibers placed in the ferrule 30 "Other specific examples can be 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or more optical fibers according to standard multi-fiber cable installations. Each half ferrule contains oblique The sides 3 5 make the width of the main surfaces 41, 42 smaller than the width of the other side of the half sleeve relative to the main surface. In a method shown in FIG. 3 for assembling the present invention, the plastic half sleeve 3 The V-grooves and beveled edges 35 of 32 are made by inserting molds made of silicon master molds. The ferrules 31 and 32 are injection-molded. This half-tube is made of a dimensionally stable polymer material. For example, the liquid crystal polymer is cast according to the following procedure. The master template is made on a silicon block and is anisotropically etched along the crystalline plane.

Binding line A7 B7 Printed by the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the People ’s Republic of China for the consumption of capital ¾ 5 、 Explanation of the invention (10) V-shaped grooves with the desired number and interval are engraved. The oblique is to etch a deep groove on the stone block at the same time to form a 'cut at the bottom of the groove to make a silicon block Since the hypotenuse is etched on the same crystalline plane as the groove of the fiber, the central axis of the fiber placed in the groove will be placed on the hypotenuse of the plastic sleeve made from the silicon template. The center axis of the aligned loose part is straight and parallel. The V-shaped groove on the silicon block is produced by covering the surface of the silicon block and anisotropically etching it at the desired position of the groove. The mask can be To avoid the material on the silicon block that is not intended to be grooved, the silicon block master template is electroplated with nickel to obtain an insertion mold opposite to the original silicon block. Then the silicon block is removed from the inserted mold. Insert mold is used in combination with other insert molds The semi-plastic block 33 is made by injection molding method. The semi-plastic block 33 includes half of the sleeve 31 and a set of the rear half of the tube 51. When the first half of the sleeve 3 of the sleeve 30 and the second half of the sleeve 32 can be combined It is possible to use a single mold to inject the two halves of the casing. Therefore, in a specific example of use, the semi-plastic block 33 that is cast includes a groove 36 and a beveled edge 35 along the main surface 4! Sleeve "and a sleeve back seat 51 having a ferrule 55, a recess 58 and a window 57. The above procedure can be used to completely and simultaneously etch all the grooves on the hard block 'without masking or cutting the outer hypotenuse. According to the above description, it can be understood that a multi-fiber ferrule with precisely aligned grooves and sides can be quickly, easily, and inexpensively manufactured. The more suitable method of assembling and terminating the sleeve is as follows. The post-transformed sleeve member 30 is assembled by first placing a core needle (not shown) in the groove 36 of the first half cannula (see the figure). Then the main surface M is put together. In order to include the core needles in the half cannula 31, 32. The core needles extend from the meals of the family members (CNs) according to the specifications.

The parallel array of optical fibers 50 is then inserted through the ferrule 55 'so that the recess 5.8 (see FIG. 3) can accept the cable and the optical fiber 50 can reach the multiple grooves 36 of the sleeve 30. For the cable 60, the recess 5 8 of the tail end portion of the sleeve is like a component that eliminates torsion or bending force. The multiple optical fibers are pushed through the sleeve 30 and the tail end of the sleeve is pushed out of the end face of the sleeve. Other than 40%, the fiber is chemically bonded, such as injecting an anaerobic adhesive into the sleeve, and firmly fixed in the sleeve 30. For example, using Roqueque primer N7649 (Victa Company, Rocky Mountain, Connecticut) [Locquic Primer N7649 (Loctite Corp., Rocky Hill Conn.)] Primer, with a compound such as RCTM 68 0 high-resistance continuous compound (Rockite Corporation, Rocky Mountain, Connecticut) ) Hardener. Anaerobic adhesives are used because they can react in the air 'and they adhere well to plastic. You can also use other chemical bonding methods, such as using adhesive with the reaction furnace. The adhesive can be injected from the end of the casing or the window η. The adhesive fixes the optical fiber in the V-shaped groove of the ferrule 30, and also fixes the half ferrules 31, 32 together. After the adhesive reacts, the optical fiber 50 is cut and polished.
