Abstract

Zum Konfektionieren eines Lichtwellenleiters mit einem Stecker wird die Stirnseite (SS) des Lichtwellenleiters (LW) mit Hilfe von Wärmestrahlung (WS) einer Wärmequelle, z.b. einem Laser (LA) schmolzen. Anschließend wird der Stecker auf die der Vorderseite (VS) polierte Platte (PL) zubewegt bis das Fasermaterial die konische Öffnung (CA) füllt und das Faserende mit der Steckerstirnseite eben abschließt. Die Platte, welche im Bereich der Energiezufuhr eine geringere Dicke aufweist, dient nach dem Schmelz und Verformungsvorgang der Wärmeabfuhr.
