A Connector for Splicing Optical Fibers.
Abstract
A connector splicing optical fibers wherein a glass sleeve, having a precision cut bore formed therein, is provided with funnel-shaped access openings at each end thereof for receiving the ends of the glass fibers to be spliced. In one embodiment, a permanent splice is made by applying a bonding agent and sealant to the funnel-shaped openings, and in another embodiment, a retainer ring is employed to thereby provide a disconnectable splice. The invention described herein may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor. (Author)
