HIGH-PRECISION OPTOELECTRONIC COMPONENTS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G02B6/38 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: optical connection element and a connector are designed such that they can be made using a forming method with allowance of not less than 1000 nm. The said components also have sealing rings and sleeves. The sealing ring may consist of two identical halves which are forged and gathered together. Alternatively, the sealing rings may be designed such that, they can be made through moulding or a combination of forging and moulding methods. A pair of sealing rings which hold one or more optical fibres is joined using a high-precision split sleeve without additional aligning tools.

EFFECT: easier making a connection element without reduction of accuracy of joining optical fibres.
