METHOD OF CONNECTING OPTICAL FIBERS, OPTICAL FIBER CONNECTOR, AND METHOD OF GRINDING OPTICAL FIBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve an optical fiber coupling with a simple and small structure, a low reflection and a low loss. SOLUTION: An end face of a naked optical fiber 1 of an optical coated fiber 3 is made as a slope 2 tilted to an optic axis, and two slopes 2 are abutted against each other so as to be in parallel in a hole of a hollow member 6 fixed on a substrate 4 with an adhesive 7, etc. And, the two optical fibers 1 are bent or one of the optical fibers 1 is bent and are fixed at their heels on the substrate 4 by fixing members 5, 5A.
