Problems solved by technology

If there is an angular deviation of 2° between the two optical axes, the extinction ratio coefficient will drop sharply from 30dB to 25dB, which will affect the transmission performance of the polarization maintaining fiber
In order to ensure the accuracy of axis alignment when two polarization-maintaining optical fibers are connected, it is required that the positioning key of the connector and the optical axis be connected with high precision, which makes the production process of polarization-maintaining optical fiber connectors more complicated than that of ordinary single-mode optical fiber connectors. , low production efficiency
High-precision fiber optic adapters also have the defects of complex production process and high production cost.

Abstract

The invention discloses an optical fiber adapter and the application thereof. The optical fiber adapter comprises a ceramic sleeve which is axially communicated, a first casing pipe, a second casing pipe, an inner shell body and an outer shell body, wherein the first casing pipe and the second casing pipe are mutually connected in a butt joint mode and are respectively arranged outside the ceramic sleeve in a sleeved mode, the first casing pipe is sleeved with the inner shell body, the second casing pipe is sleeved with the outer shell body, and the inner shell body is matched with the outer shell body in a clamping mode. The optical fiber adapter is used for connecting polarization maintaining optical fiber connectors, the precision of butt joint of optical axes of two optical fibers can be guaranteed, the extinction ratio is in the maximum value, and the transmission performance of the optical fibers is optimal. In addition, the requirement for the manufacturing precision of the polarization maintaining optical fiber connectors is low, the manufacturing technology is simple, and manufacturing cost is low. The optical fiber adapter is suitable for the technical field of optical fiber transmission.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber transmission, and relates to an optical fiber adapter and its application. Background technique [0002] Polarization-maintaining fiber is used to transmit linearly polarized light to ensure that the polarization states of input light and output light are in the same position, and fiber optic connectors are used to realize the connection of optical fibers. When two polarization-maintaining optical fiber connectors are connected, a high-precision optical fiber adapter is required for alignment and connection to ensure the accuracy of the optical axes of the two polarization-maintaining optical fibers. If there is an angular deviation of 2° between the two optical axes, the extinction ratio coefficient will drop sharply from 30dB to 25dB, which will affect the transmission performance of the polarization maintaining fiber. In order to ensure the accuracy of axis alignment when two polarizatio...
