| 摘要 |
The optical fiber connector of the present invention comprises a plurality of spaced-apart optical fiber receiving holes (14,15) (or tubes) formed at one end (16) of the connector and a spherical mirror (12,13) formed at another end of the connector. The receiving holes are disposed on respective sides of the principal axis (m) of the spherical mirror and the bottoms of the holes are collinear with and equidistant from the center of curvature (c) of the mirror. Light signals emitted by an optical fiber inserted in one of the holes impinge on the mirror and are reflected in the direction of an optical fiber inserted in another one of the holes. The connector may be readily adapted to optically connect N+1 fibers together. (FIG. 1) |
