Abstract

The invention provides a device and method integrating polishing and tapering for preparing D-shaped and tapered optical fibers. The device includes a platform main body, a lifting module, an optical fiber polishing module, an optical fiber transmission module, a fixture module, and an optical fiber heating module. and fiber optics. The first end of the lifting module is fixedly connected to the lower end of the platform main body, and the second end of the lifting module is fixedly connected to the optical fiber polishing module. The optical fiber polishing module, optical fiber transmission module, real-time monitoring module and optical fiber heating module are located at the upper end of the platform main body. In addition, the optical fiber transmission module and the optical fiber heating module are located between the optical fiber polishing module and the real-time monitoring module. The groove of the flange slider is fixed. The invention cleverly solves the problem of relative movement of the optical fiber and the polishing wheel through the design of the flange slider, and can implement both side polishing of the optical fiber and tapering of the optical fiber.
