27、frequently cleaved and polished to achieve a suitable endface surface topography for interfacing to other fibres, optical components, transmitters or receivers. Such interfaces may occur in free space or by physical contact. Often, particularly in the case of ferrule-less fibre optic connectors, rad

28、iused or angled radiused endfaces optimise the fibre-to- fibre physical contact characteristics. The optical fibre endface angle () for flat endface angle-polished fibres is defined as the angle between the plane perpendicular to the axis of the fibre and the plane of the flat endface. The endface a

29、ngle () for spherically polished angled endface fibres is the angle between the plane perpendicular to the axis of the fibre and the straight-line tangent to the polished surface at the fibre core and going to the nominal angle direction.

31、es Two methods are described for measuring the optical fibre endface angle: method 1 automatic interferometric method (reference method); method 2 manual interferometric method; 3.1 Method 1 Automatic interferometric method Due to its greater accuracy, method 1 is considered the reference model. In

32、this method the optical fibre endface is placed in a tiltable micropositioner under a microscope with interferometric capability. NOTE A fixed holder at the nominal value of the angle to be measured may be used, but in this case the alignment procedure described is not applicable and it is necessary

33、 to use a reference angled fibre, measured by other methods.

The optical fibre is tilte

35、d by a micropositioner at the nominal value ( 0 ) of the angle that has to be measured. For convex polished optical fibres, the radius of curvature (R) and the apex offset component (E x ) in the direction of the angle (), are measured from the analysis of the interferometric pattern (see Figure 3 a

36、nd Equation (1). The value of the angle is evaluated from the values of R, E x , and the tilt offset of the fibre holder. The other component of apex offset, E y may be evaluated to quantify any rotational misalignment of the endface, which is commonly referred to as key angle.Fringes centre (Polish

37、 vertex) Fibre centre Fringes E YE XIEC 664/05 Figure 3 Example of the interferometric pattern of a convex polished optical fibre EN 61300-3-37:2005For flat polished optical fibres the angle is evaluated from the frequency of the interferometric fringes in the angle direction (see Figure 4), from th

38、e number of waves in the length unit (1/). It should be noted that often the fringes will not line up exactly with the tilt axis, indicating a component of rotational misalignment of the endface, which is commonly referred to as key angle.

39、flat angled polished optical fibre 3.2 Method 2 Manual interferometric method As in method 1, the optical fibre endface is placed in a tiltable micropositioner under a microscope with interferometric capability. However, in this method the optical fibre is tilted by a micropositioner until the surfa

40、ce of the endface is normal to the optical axis of the interferometer: this occurs when the real value of the angle is reached. In the case of a convex polished fibre endface, this position is reached when the interference rings and the fibre are both symmetrical to the rotation axis (see Figure 5).

41、 If key angle also exists, it may only be possible to achieve symmetry in the tilt axis. In the case of flat polished optical fibres the position is reached when the interference fringes disappear or if key angle also exists, are at a minimum number. The endface angle of the optical fibre can be rea
