Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate the foam generated in the stage of curing and to prevent increase in transmission loss by coating a defoamed high polymer resin on the juncture of optical fiber strands and the optical fiber strands on both sides thereof then fixing the forming part thereof to a reinforcing member by means of a high polymer resin. CONSTITUTION:A high polymer resin 10 put into a beaker 12 is housed into a vacuum vessel 13 and the inside of the vessel is evacuated to remove the foam 11 in the resin 10. The resulting foamless high polymer resin 10A' is put into an injector 14. Optical fiber strands 3, 3' which are fused together to form an optical fiber strand part 4 are put into a metallic mold 15 and the resin 10A' is injected into the mold through the injecting hole 16 of the mold 15 by the injector 14 thereby forming theresin layer 10A. The intervention of the foam in the layer 10A is obviated.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this type of conventional reinforced optical fiber connection section has optical fiber cores 1.1 to be connected.
The coating layers 2, 2' are removed at the tips of the optical fibers 3, 3', and the optical fibers 3, 3' are exposed from inside.
An optical fiber zero wire connection section 4 is formed by arc fusion or the like with the ends of the ends 3' abutted against each other, and this is connected to the bare wire section provided on the substrate 5 of the reinforcing member 7 consisting of the substrate 5 and the lid 6. It had a structure in which it was housed together with a silicone-based or epoxy-based polymer resin 10 in the housing groove 8 and covering part housing grooves 9, 9' continuous to both ends thereof, and the lids 6'f-L were bonded and fixed.

However, the optical fiber connection portion reinforced in this manner has the disadvantage that when temperature changes are applied, the transmission loss increases, and in severe cases, the optical fiber connection portion may break. The cause of this increase in transmission loss and breakage of the optical fiber is due to the polymer resin 10 as shown in Figure 2.
This is because air bubbles 11' are present in the optical fiber 3', and stress is concentrated at the interface of the air bubbles 11 due to thermal strain caused by temperature changes, thereby applying strain to the optical fiber 3.3'. There are three reasons why the bubbles 11 occur:

(A) 高分子樹脂の中にも表もと存在する。(A) It is also commonly present in polymer resins.

(B) 高分子樹脂を光フアイバ素線の表面に塗るとき

(B) Generated when applying polymer resin to the surface of optical fiber.

Of these, point (5) can be solved by vacuum degassing of the polymer resin, and point (B) can be solved by keeping the surface of the optical fiber clean and devising a method for applying the polymer resin. However, point (C) remains unresolved.

高分子樹脂が硬化する過程で生ずる気泡のメカニズムと

The following two mechanisms can be considered for the bubbles generated during the curing process of the polymer resin.

(イ)硬化反応時に生じる生成物が気泡として残留する
(a) Products generated during the curing reaction remain as bubbles.

(b) The curing reaction does not proceed uniformly, and the portion shown in FIG. 3 (4) hardens into a shell shape first. As shown in FIG. 3(B), the uncured portion 10B within the shell-shaped hardened portion 10A
Due to shrinkage when the resin hardens, air bubbles 11 are generated and trapped as shown in FIG. 3(C).

For example, some silicone resins that are currently widely used as polymeric resins for reinforcing optical fibers react with water and moisture in the air (condensation reaction) to produce alcohol. There is a possibility that bubbles 11 may be generated due to the mechanism. However, as a countermeasure for (a), it is sufficient to use an addition reaction type polymer resin that does not produce by-products.

Silicones such as Part A (pace polymer, catalyst) and Part B (linking agent, reaction inhibitor) are mixed and defoamed under vacuum as shown in FIG. The viscosity of the mixed liquid in this case is approximately 2.
By using OOOCP and creating a vacuum of about 10+mnHg, complete defoaming can be achieved in about 10 minutes. Viscosity is 10
If the viscosity exceeds .0OOCPe, vacuum degassing becomes difficult, so a viscosity of 2.0OOCPe was selected. The optical fiber wires 3, 3' and their connecting portions 4 are set in a mold 15 as shown in FIG. 5, and defoamed silicone is injected into the mold 15 through the injection hole 16 using a syringe 14. At this time,
By creating an escape route for the residual air in the mold 15, the bubble-free silicone layer 10Ak is formed around the outer periphery of the optical fibers 3, 3' and their connecting portions 4 without entraining air since the defoamed silicone has a low viscosity. Can be formed. A heater 17 is built into the mold 15, and the bubble-free crecone layer 10A is heated to 170°C.
When heated for several tens of seconds, it hardened. If the heating temperature of the heater 17 is further increased, the curing time can be further shortened.
If the temperature exceeds 0°C, the protective nylon present as a secondary wave covering layer at both ends of the optical fiber strands 3, 3' will melt, so in the case of nylon-coated optical fiber strands 3, 3', 1
Heating above 80°C is undesirable. The Young's modulus of the bubble-free silicone layer 10A after curing is about 0.1 kg/m 2 , and a sufficient cushioning effect can be obtained. As a result of the above operations, a shape as shown in FIG. 6 is obtained. Next, we used a type of one-component silicone that condenses with moisture in the air, which has been widely used in the past (viscosity 40,000 CP, io, ooo). Therefore, the viscosity is to, o o o c
p or more is desirable. ) as shown in FIG.
After applying it to the valley grooves 8, 9° 9' and the inner surface of the lid 6,
The part where the bubble-free silicone layer 10A shown in FIG. 6 is to be formed is set in these grooves 8g9#9', and the lid 6 is placed and fixed, and the liquid silicone layer 10g is cured. When the reinforcing member 7 is made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) having high strength and a low coefficient of linear expansion, the tensile strength of silicone increases and stable temperature characteristics can be obtained.

It goes without saying that the polymer resin applied to the reinforcing member 7 may be a defoamed polymer resin.

As explained above, in the method for forming a reinforced optical fiber connection part according to the present invention, the surface of the optical fiber and its connection part is coated with defoamed polymer resin to form a bubble-free polymer resin layer. After that, the formed portion of the non-cell polymer resin layer is fixed to the reinforcing member using a high-density resin within the reinforcing member, so that when the polymer resin is cured, the surface of the optical fiber and its connection portion is A bubble-free polymer resin layer can be formed without trapping air bubbles. Therefore, according to the reinforced optical fiber connection portion formed by the method of the present invention, air bubbles do not come into contact with or come close to the surface of the optical fiber wire and its connection portion, and the air bubble-free polymer resin layer does not contain air bubbles. It acts as a buffer layer against the stress caused by bubbles, and can prevent an increase in transmission loss and breakage of the optical fiber due to bubbles.
