Title:
OPTICAL CONNECTOR ADAPTED TO OPTICALLY MATCH ENDS OF TWO OPTICAL FIBERS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS59211012
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A connector for monomode optical fibres comprises two connectable housings in each of which is secured the end of an optical fibre which is substantially coaxially aligned with at least two light displacement means which produce a light beam with a predetermined form from lighttransmitted along the optical fibre. The light beams from the two housings are complementary so that a light beam from either housing is focussed on to the end of the optical fibre in the other housing when the two housings are connected.The light displacement means may be convex or concave lenses, selfoc lenses, prisms or combinations of these. The light beam from each housing is preferably parallel but one can be divergent and the other covergent. They may also both be divergent with an additional lens between the housings.
