Optical connector and ferrule adhesion system including adhesive composition, and related methods |
| 摘要 |
An optical connector for terminating an optical fiber includes a ferrule, an optical fiber, and an adhesive composition disposed within a fiber-receiving passage of the ferrule. The adhesive composition, which is in contact with the inner surface of the ferrule and the optical fiber, includes a partially cross-linked resin that is a polymer and a coupling agent that chemically bonds the partially cross-linked resin to an inorganic surface of at least one of the optical fiber and the ferrule. |

1. A ferrule adhesion system for use in an optical connector for terminating an optical fiber, the ferrule adhesion system comprising:
a ferrule comprising a fiber-receiving passage defining an inner surface; and an adhesive composition, wherein:
the adhesive composition is disposed in the fiber-receiving passage of the ferrule and in contact with the inner surface of the ferrule;the adhesive composition comprises a partially cross-linkable resin and a coupling agent;the adhesive composition is a solid material without securing an optical fiber in the fiber-receiving passage of the ferrule; andthe coupling agent of the adhesive composition is configured to chemically bond the partially cross-linked resin to an inorganic surface of at least one of the optical fiber and the ferrule when the adhesive composition is heated. |
