A Surface Reinforced Glass Ferrule for Fiber Optic Connector

摘要

We developed a glass ferrule fiber optic con- nector. During development, we also studied wear-resistant coating technology for preventing scratches on the surface of a glass ferrule. The method of coating was sputtering, and the material was alumina. We confirmed that a thin uniform coating could be formed on the ferrule surface to improve the durability of glass ferrule connectors.
