Light conducting fibre locking device - connects optical fibres to optical components of other fibres using fixing element made of memory alloy material

摘要

The device for fixing a light conducting fibre to an optical component fastens a fixing element (1, 11, 11', 25, 44) to the optical component and includes an aperture (2, 12, 12') for the fibre. The fixing element (1, 11, 11', 25, 44) comprises a material with "memory alloy" and is shaped such that the aperture (2, 12, 12'), at a given temperature, shrinks from a diameter which which is bigger than the diameter of the fibre to a smaller diameter. USE/ADVANTAGE - For fixing fibres to optical components such as lens, or to another fibre. Compact, simple and inexpensive.
