    摘要: Fabricating graded index plastic optical fiber by diffusing a high molecular weight dopant within a step index plastic optical fiber after the step index plastic optical fiber has been drawn from a preform using a conventional draw tower in a first embodiment. Also, the step index plastic optical fiber may be fabricated by extruding one material circumferentially around another material, e.g., by use of a concentric nozzle. The dopant is diffused after the drawing or extruding of the step index plastic optical fiber by heating the plastic optical fiber to a temperature that causes a high rate of diffusion state while measuring the transmission bandwidth of the plastic optical fiber. When the predetermined specified transmission bandwidth is measured, the plastic optical fiber is immediately returned to an ambient temperature. In addition, the plastic optical fiber may be gradually heated to an equilibrium temperature that is just below the temperature required to produce the high rate of diffusion state. Once the equilibrium temperature has been achieved, additional heating is carried out to raise the temperature to that required to produce the high rate of diffusion and the transmission bandwidth is tested.

    摘要: The present invention relates to fiber optics. In this regard, embodiments of the invention may be construed as providing interconnection systems for optical media. An embodiment of the present invention includes an optical circuit pack assembly, an optical circuit board, a child board, an optical device having a front end and a back end, an optical connector, and an optical connector mechanism. As such, the optical device is mounted on the child board and the child board is in turn slidably affixed to the optical circuit board. The optical connector is mounted on the optical circuit pack assembly such that as an operator inserts the optical circuit board into the optical circuit pack assembly, the optical connector and optical device are obscured from view. Operation of the optical connector mechanism causes the child board to move along a longitudinal axis of the child board, thereby causing the optical connector and the optical device to become operably engaged.

    摘要: An optical connector assembly includes a connector body having an inner wall defining a bore extending longitudinally through the connector body and shaped to receive an optical fiber. A fiber-retaining mechanism is disposed in the connector body for retention of the optical fiber received in the bore by frictionally engaging an outer circumferential surface of the optical fiber to thereby restrain unintended longitudinal displacement of the optical fiber relative to the bore.

    摘要: Finishing the end of a plastic optical fiber by a device having a semi-rigid or rigid base, a solvent liner for absorbing and holding a solvent, and a re-attachable pull-off cover for keeping the solvent from evaporating when not in use. To polish the end of a plastic optical fiber, the cover is peeled off, the end of the optical fiber is contacted with the solvent liner such that solvent is transferred to the end of the optical fiber, the cover may be reapplied (using a pressure sensitive adhesive integral to either the bottom of the peel-off cover or the top of the liner), the excessive solvent, if any, is removed by using an appropriate swab, and the end of the plastic optical fiber is allowed to return to its normal state. The solvent temporarily dissolves the surface layer of the end of the optical fiber. The resulting surface tension automatically polishes the end of the optical fiber.

    摘要: Interconnection apparatus for electrically connecting the contact areas (22) of a printed wiring board (20) and the contact springs (e.g., 33, 34) of a backplane (10) for increasing the board terminations without increasing the width of the board leading edge (21). A coordinate array of contact areas (22) is provided at least on one side of the leading portion of the board (20) which corresponds to an array of contacting surfaces of the springs (e.g., 33, 34) extending from a backplane (10). A mask (e.g., 23) having an array of apertures (24) corresponding to the contact area array overlies the leading portion (21) of the board (20). The mask apertures (e.g., 24) are individually dimensioned and formed within the array rows to accept therethrough only correspondingly formed individual contact springs (e.g., 33, 34) of the spring rows. Accordingly, as the board (20) is inserted in opposition to the contact springs, individual ones of the latter can only make electrical contact with their corresponding board (20) contact areas (22) when the board is fully inserted, the spring and contact area mating then occurring simultaneously.
