OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR USING COLORED PHOTOCURABLE ADHESIVE

摘要

A colored adhesive useful for an optical fiber connection or termination, containing an adhesive component having a viscosity between about 200 centipoise and about 5000 centipoise, a colorant which is soluble in the adhesive component having a first color before exposure to radiation having a wavelength of from about 400 to about 1100 nanometers, and a second color after exposure to radiation, and an initiator system to cure the adhesive composition by exposure to the radiation.
