Problems solved by technology

For the side area where the light-emitting diode has a large divergence angle, the existing optical fiber cannot guide the light injected by the light-emitting diode into parallel light or perform total reflection
Therefore, the light source of the light-emitting diode is wasted, and the light coupling efficiency between the optical fiber and the light-emitting diode is reduced.

Abstract

The invention provides an optical fiber which comprises a columnar body and an end portion. The end portion is opposite to a light emitting diode, light emitted by the light emitting diode enters the body of the optical fiber from the end portion, the end portion comprises a vertical end face which is located at the center position and a slope cutting face which is connected between the end face and a circumferential face of the body, light emitted by lateral end areas, with bigger emitting angles, of the light emitting diode are refracted into the body by the cutting face, and incidence angles of the light refracted in the lateral end of the body are increased. The light emitted by the lateral end areas, with the bigger emitting angles, of the light emitting diode are refracted into the body by the optical fiber, and the incidence angles of the light refracted in the lateral end of the body are increased, so that total reflection transmission of the light in the body is facilitated, meanwhile, the situation that the light is refracted out from the lateral end of the body by the optical fiber is avoided, and coupling light power of the optical fiber and the light emitting diode is further and greatly promoted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to an optical fiber capable of improving light coupling efficiency with a light-emitting diode. Background technique [0002] Commonly used data communication methods include optical fiber communication and twisted pair communication. Among them, optical fiber communication has the advantages of long transmission distance, small distortion, and low interference, and is widely used. Optical fiber communication usually uses light emitting diodes as light sending devices, wherein the light power of the central area of ​​the light emitting diode is relatively higher than that of the side end areas, and the divergence angle is relatively concentrated. The existing unprocessed optical fiber end face is a straight plane. For the side end area where the light-emitting diode has a large divergence angle, the existing optical fiber cannot guide the light incident from the light-emittin...
