FIBER-OPTIC CONNECTOR

摘要

A fiber-optic connector for connecting an optical fiber to other optical assemblies is disclosed. The fiber-optic connector includes a top plate having a window of similar refractive index and transmission index as the material of an optic fiber to be contained within the fiber-optic connector. The fiber-optic connector also includes a ferrule connected to the top plate via multiple spring-loaded screws. The ferrule includes an interface and an insert. The insert is capable of firmly gripping an optical fiber. In order to reduce Fresnel reflection losses of the fiber-optic connector, the window is pre-coated with an anti-reflective surface on the side opposite an optic fiber to be contained within the fiber-optic connector.

主权项

1. A fiber-optic connector comprising:
a polygonal shaped top plate having a plurality of tips and having fasteners inserted through at least some of said tips of said polygonal shaped top plate; a window contained within said top plate, wherein said window is of substantial refractive index and transmission index as an optical fiber to be contained within said fiber-optic connector; and a ferrule connected to said top plate, wherein said ferrule includes an interface and an insert capable of firmly gripping said optical fiber to be contained within said fiber-optic connector.
