Optical fibre locating apparatus.

摘要

Fibre locating apparatus to facilitate alignment of an optical fibre comprises accurately aligned silica blocks 1, 2 and 3 respectively providing a fibre guiding 'V' groove 4, a perpendicular facing surface 10 and a mounting 7 for a mirror or other planar signal receiving surface. The apparatus allows rapid re-alignment of fibre ends when optical systems (e.g. fibre lasers) require reconfiguration.
