Ferrule of a connector for single-mode optical fibers with polarization maintenance and the process for its adjustment

摘要

A ferrule of a connector for single-mode optical fibers with polarization maintenance is provided and comprises a tubular outer body which has at its front end a wall that is conical in profile, an inner cylindrical elements inside which an optical fiber can be immobilized, particularly by gluing, said inner element protruding from said end of the outer body, said outer body comprising radial holes for the insertion of devices such as piercers for mechanically centering the inner element in the outer body. The connector includes a socket (18) attached in rotation around said body (1) and means (2) for immobilizing said socket, preferably by gluing, on said body, said socket being, moreover, equipped with an indexing reference (19).
