Device and method for producing a mechanical, permanent spliced joint between two optical waveguides (LWL) made from transparent quartz

摘要

The subject matter of the invention is a device (1) which consists of a transparent rod (2) and consists of two LWL receptor parts (2a, 2b) due to a plane division in the middle. The transparent rod has a continuous capillary in the centre for receiving the LWLs. In order to produce a spliced joint between two LWL (6a, 6b) made from transparent quartz in conjunction with a slight attenuation of the conducted light power, the two receptor parts (2a, 2b) are introduced in each case at the end face into a tube (4). <IMAGE>
