Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of optical fiber connection technology. It relates to a positioning device for automatically positioning and fixing at least one optical fiber introduced into the positioning device along a predetermined optical axis (2), which positioning device is a base element with a flat top side and a V-shaped receiving channel embedded in the top side and running parallel to the top side Receiving the at least one optical fiber and a separate and resilient holding element arranged on the top of the base element for holding the at least one optical fiber inserted into the receiving channel. 2
- Such a positioning device is e.g. known from US-A-4,973,126.
- plug connections are also increasingly required which enable two optical fibers to be detachably coupled to one another with as little attenuation as possible, or an optical fiber with a transmitting or to connect the receiving element.
- optical coupling due to the small diameter of the fibers (fiber diameter eg 125 ⁇ m) and because of the much smaller mode field diameter (for a monomode fiber eg approx. 10 ⁇ m), a very high degree of precision ( ⁇ 1 ⁇ m) ) during the positioning and coupling of the fibers is necessary to obtain small values for the insertion loss (e.g. ⁇ 0.5 dB) and high values for the return loss (e.g.> 60 dB).
- the coupling device should be mechanically robust, functionally reliable even with repeated plugging operations, easy to handle and inexpensive to manufacture in large quantities.
- binder is complex to manufacture and assemble and mechanically sensitive.
- a further micromechanical solution for a connector for optical fibers is known from US-A-5,377,289. Positioning devices are inserted there for centering and fixing the inserted optical fibers. 4

- the arms can be bent outwards there so that a fiber inserted into the channel bends the arms apart there and at the same time is centered between the arms due to the restoring forces.
- the complete connector however, consists of a large number of small, precisely assembled individual parts, so that the assembly is particularly difficult and complex.
- micromechanical processing comprising a few steps can be produced inexpensively and reliably.
- the holding element comprises a membrane which is arranged parallel to the upper side of the base element above the receiving channel and can be elastically deflected perpendicularly to the upper side of the base element and which, when the at least one optical fiber is inserted into the receiving channel is deflected and with its restoring force fixes the at least one optical fiber in the receiving channel.

- the centering of the inserted optical fibers can be further improved if, according to a further preferred embodiment, the centering area (s) of the base element is / are each divided into a precentering area and a fine centering area arranged between the precentering area and the respective end of the receiving channel.
- the pre-centering area initially narrows the scope for the inserted fiber end to a smaller area, while the actual centering on the entrance of the receiving channel then takes place through the fine centering area.
- the base element is preferably designed as a solid plate made of a single-crystalline material, in particular silicon, and the V-shaped receiving channel and possibly the centering areas and precentering and fine-centering areas within the base element are made of the solid plate by micromechanical processing, in particular by etching worked out. This provides a robust and high-precision base element with proven methods.
- the positioning device according to the invention is intended for the releasable insertion of the optical fibers, it is advantageous because of the mechanical stress caused by the inserted fiber ends if, according to a further embodiment, at least the V-shaped receiving channel and possibly the centering areas and pre- and fine-centering areas are protected against mechanical stress by a wear layer, in particular made of SiO 2 .
- Another preferred embodiment of the positioning device according to the invention is characterized in that the membrane is arranged on the underside of the holding element, that the membrane has at least one opening, and that a trough-shaped depression is provided above the membrane in the holding element for receiving an index matching liquid.
- a reservoir of index matching liquid can be kept in the trough-shaped depression, and the one below it through the opening in the membrane 7
- the fiber - as is usual with a connector - is inserted and pulled out several times, the associated loss of index matching liquid can be compensated for from the reservoir of the trough-shaped depression.
- the service life of the connector is significantly extended in this way.
- the holding element is preferably designed as a solid plate made of a single-crystalline material, in particular silicon, and the membrane is machined out of the solid plate within the holding element by micromechanical processing, in particular by etching.
- the holding element consists of silicon oriented in the (IOO) direction, with a centering region for centering the optical fiber during insertion in the holding element in front of and / or behind the membrane, and the centering regions of the holding element each laterally by directionally selective etched walls in the [111] crystal plane.

- the assembly shaft makes assembly and centering easier and the positioning device protected. At the same time there is a largely closed room.
- the conclusion for an index matching liquid is achieved in that a trough-shaped recess for receiving an index matching liquid is provided in the positioning element above the membrane in the holding element, and in that a seal, in particular in the form of an O-ring, is arranged between the mounting element and the holding element is which encloses the trough-shaped recess and seals upwards.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a detachable connector for two optical fibers with a conventional housing and a mounting shaft for receiving the positioning device according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows the partially sectioned housing of the connector from FIG.
- FIG. 3 shows an enlarged representation of the positioning device from FIG. 2 consisting of a lower base element and an upper holding element;
- FIG. 4 shows the holding element from FIG. 3 equipped with an elastic membrane
- FIG. 5 shows the base element from FIG. 3 equipped with a V-shaped receiving channel and centering areas arranged on both sides;
- FIG. 6 is an axis view of the connector from FIG. 2 with a stem-shaped mounting element and a seal;
- Fig. 7 the holding element in plan view from above.
- the plug connector 1 shows a detachable connector for two optical fibers for receiving the positioning device according to the invention in a perspective view.
- the plug connector 1 comprises an elongated housing 11 made of plastic, which extends along an optical axis 2 and which has a mounting shaft 14 in the central region, which extends perpendicularly to the optical axis 2 from above into the housing 11 for receiving a positioning device.
- the positioning device itself is not shown in this illustration for reasons of clarity.
- the mounting shaft 14 is in the direction of the optical 10
- Axis 2 delimited by transverse walls 16 and separated from insertion openings 7 arranged on both sides.
- the connector 1 with the positioning device 10 used is shown in a partially sectioned illustration in FIG. 2.
- the positioning device 10 consists essentially of a lower plate-shaped base element 18, in which the inserted optical fibers are received and stored, and a directly lying, likewise plate-shaped holding element 17, which holds and fixes the inserted optical fibers in the base element 18.
- the base element 18 has on its underside two bevels (26 and 27 in FIG. 3) extending in the direction of the optical axis.
- the slopes are adapted to the sloping walls of a V-shaped shaft floor 15, which - extending in the direction of the optical axis - closes the mounting shaft 14 towards the bottom.
- Both the holding element 17 and the base element 18 are preferably through 11
- the base element 18 has, for example, outer dimensions (of the plate) of 4.5 x 3.2 x 1 mm (length x width x height) and the V-shaped receiving channel for optical fibers with an outer diameter of 125 ⁇ m has a width of 228 ⁇ m, for example , a depth of 162 ⁇ m and a length of 1.15 mm.
- each of the centering areas 19, 20 is subdivided into a (wider) precentering area 28 and a (narrower) fine centering area 29 (FIG. 5) in order to improve the centering and uniformity of the centering process.
- the pre-centering area 28 is bounded laterally by direction-selectively etched walls in the [133] crystal plane or [313] crystal plane, while the fine centering area 29 in each case laterally by direction-selectively etched walls in the [-133] crystal plane or the [3- 13] crystal plane is limited.
- the depth of the centering areas 19, 20 in the above example is 250 ⁇ m
- the maximum width of the precentering area 28 is 1865 ⁇ m
- the maximum width of the fine centering area 665 ⁇ m The conical design of the centering areas 19, 20 with the sloping side walls ensures that the ends of the optical fibers 3, 4 are automatically centered towards the inputs of the receiving channel 21 during insertion. Mechanical damage to the base element 18 by the fiber ends scraping on the surface is avoided or reduced by covering the stressed areas with a wear layer (not shown) made of SiO 2 . 12
- the holding element 17 has dimensions (of the plate) of 4.5 x 3.2 x 0.5 mm (length x width x height) in the present example.
- the holding element 17 is pressed with its underside onto the upper side of the base element 18 (see FIG. 6). Since the dimensions of the receiving channel 21 relative to the outer diameter of the optical fibers 3, 4 are selected such that the fibers lying in the receiving channel 21 partially protrude beyond the upper plane of the base element 18, the holding element 17 presses the fibers into the V-shaped receiving channel 21 and fix them there. So that this fixation enables the fibers to be inserted and pulled out without mechanical damage, the holding element 17 has a special configuration. In the area that comes to lie above the receiving channel 21, a thin membrane 22 is etched out of the silicon plate on the underside of the holding element 17, or the plate is etched in this area from the top down to the membrane 22 (FIG. 4, 7).
- the membrane 22 has a thickness of 50 ⁇ m. It is designed as a perforated membrane and has a large number of openings 24, which give it increased flexibility.
- the membrane 22 elastically deflects upwards when the fibers are introduced into the receiving channel 21, so that the fibers can be inserted into the receiving channel 21 despite their thickness.
- the restoring force of the deflected membrane 22 securely fixes the fibers in the receiving channel 21 without making it unnecessarily difficult to pull them out.
- the spring travel of the membrane 22 is 8 ⁇ m in the above example.
- the membrane 22 is firmly connected to the solid plate of the holding element 17 on both sides of the optical axis 2 or the receiving channel 21.
- the mechanically stressed underside of the holding element 17 is preferably coated with a hard wear layer made of SiO 2 .
- a trough-shaped depression 23 (FIGS. 3, 4) is formed in the holding element 17 above the membrane 22.
- index matching liquid can be kept for the optical matching of the two fiber ends.
- the index matching liquid easily penetrates through the perforated membrane 22 to the underlying fiber ends. If the optical fibers 3, 4 are pulled out of the connector 1, the associated loss of liquid can be easily compensated for from the reservoir of the trough-shaped recess 23 the next time it is inserted.
- the positioning device 10 is preferably held in the mounting shaft 14 of the connector 1 in that a stamp-like mounting element 33 is pressed onto the holding element 17 from above (in the direction of the arrow). Sealing of the (liquid-filled) trough-shaped recess 23 in the holding element 17 is achieved by interposing a seal, in particular an O-ring 31 surrounding the recess 23. This also results in a further chamber 31 for the liquid.
- the invention results in a positioning device and a connector for optical fibers which are simple to manufacture with high precision, are easy to assemble and are distinguished by great accuracy in use and great mechanical robustness.
