Highly Reliable Jacket Cutter for Optical Fibers

概要

論文の詳細を見る
A new type jacket cutter for optical fibers is designed, and it is confirmed experimentally that its performance is superior to those of the conventional cutters. Using this new cutter which is mainly consisted of a rotatable fiber holder and a pair of blades separated by a distance of 0.3-0.4mm, only the tight jacket is cut and removed while the primary coating and the fiber are kept intact. As the result, the probability of damage to the fiber surface during jacket removal is reduced to about 0 compared to 10 found in the case of a conventional cutter. This result is useful to increase the reliability of optical fibers during assembling efforts.
