PURPOSE:To reduce the size and weight of the connector device by adopting an optical strain element. CONSTITUTION:A 1st connector 3 provided on a tip of optical fiber 1 for photodetection is equipped with a case 4 and plural optical strain elements 7... which connect the internal surface of this case 4 to the outer peripheral surface of the optical fiber 1 and a 2nd connector 10 provided on an optical fiber 2 for light projection consists of an optical strain element 11 which extends and contracts radially outside the optical connector 2. Those 1st connector 3 and 2nd connector 4 are connected by extending and contracting the optical strain elements 7... of the 1st connector 3 with light from the optical fiber 2 for light projection and aligning the axis of the optical fiber 1 for photodetection with the axis of the optical fiber 2 for light projection while the 2nd connector 10 is expanded by propagating light through the optical fiber 2 for light projection and then fixed in the case 4. |
