DEVICE FOR COUPLING OPTICAL FIBER CABLES

Abstract

Abstract Translated from French LA PRESENTE INVENTION SE RAPPORTE A UN DISPOSITIF COUPLANT DES CABLES 1, 2 DE FIBRES OPTIQUES PAR UN SYSTEME OPTIQUE COMPORTANT UN OBJECTIF CONVERGENT 3. IL EST CARACTERISE PAR LE FAIT QUE LES FIBRES 11, 21 DES DEUX CABLES SONT DISPOSEES DE MANIERE QUE LEURS EXTREMITES SOIENT SITUEES D'UN MEME COTE DUDIT OBJECTIF 3 EN ETANT DIRIGEES VERS CELUI-CI ET PAR LE FAIT QUE LE SYSTEME OPTIQUE COMPORTE UN REFLECTEUR 4 FIXE ET SITUE DE L'AUTRE COTE DES CABLES PAR RAPPORT A L'OBJECTIF DE MANIERE QUE LES RAYONS LUMINEUX ISSUS D'UNE FIBRE EMETTRICE, APRES AVOIR TRAVERSE L'OBJECTIF SOIENT REFLECHIS VERS LEDIT OBJECTIF QUI LES FOCALISE SUR LA FIBRE RECEPTRICE CONJUGUEE. THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO A DEVICE COUPLING CABLES 1, 2 OF OPTICAL FIBERS BY AN OPTICAL SYSTEM WITH A CONVERGENT OBJECTIVE 3. IT IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE FIBER 11, 21 OF THE TWO CABLES ARE ARRANGED SO THAT THEIR ENDS ARE LOCATED ON THE SAME SIDE OF SAID OBJECTIVE 3 BY BEING DIRECTED TOWARDS IT AND BY THE FACT THAT THE OPTICAL SYSTEM INCLUDES A FIXED REFLECTOR 4 AND LOCATED ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CABLES IN RELATION TO THE OBJECTIVE SO THAT THE LIGHT RAYS COMING FROM A TRANSMITTER FIBER, AFTER CROSSING THE OBJECTIVE, BE REFLECTED TOWARDS THIS OBJECTIVE WHICH FOCUSES THEM ON THE CONJUGATED RECEIVING FIBER.
