However, in the case of such a shape, for example, if the adhesive expands and contracts in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, the ferrule deforms in a warped manner. The inner wall peels off, which leads to an increase in transmission loss

Abstract

The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a ferrule and a ferrule with an optical fiber, which can suppress transmission loss even if the adhesive of the adhesive filling part expands and contracts. The present invention is a ferrule for holding the end of an optical fiber, comprising: a plurality of optical fiber holes provided for inserting an optical fiber and arranged in a predetermined direction; An opening surface of the optical fiber hole and an opposing surface facing the opening surface. The adhesive filling portion has an upper opening opening on an upper surface which is a surface on which the adhesive is filled, and a lower opening opening on a lower surface which is a surface opposite to the upper surface.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a ferrule and a method for manufacturing a ferrule with an optical fiber. Background technique [0002] As a ferrule for holding an end portion of an optical fiber, a ferrule having an adhesive filling portion provided with an opening for filling an adhesive and filling the adhesive filling portion with adhesive to fix the optical fiber is known. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique of filling and curing an adhesive in an adhesive filled portion of a ferrule with the end face of the optical fiber in contact with the inner wall of the adhesive filled portion of the ferrule. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 5564344. [0004] Conventionally, the adhesive filled portion is opened only on one surface (for example, the upper surface) of the ferrule. However, in the case of such a shape, for example, if the adhesive expands and contracts in a high-temperature, high-humidity environment, the ferrule deforms ...
