ABSTRACT:
A coupler for optically connecting two lengths of dielectric optical waveguide has a plug and a socket. The socket consists of a sleeve having a first capillary bore tube rigidly fixed in the sleeve and a second capillary bore tube slidable in the sleeve. A length of dielectric optical waveguide is threaded through the first tube and partially threads the second tube. The plug consists of a capillary bore tube of similar cross-section to the second capillary bore tube, with a length of dielectric optical waveguide partially threading, and rigidly attached to the capillary bore tube. When the plug is inserted in the socket the second capillary tube slide back along the length of the dielectric optical waveguide which is thus guided into the plug capillary bore. A modification of the invention provides a plug and socket connection for simultaneously joining a large number of dielectric optical waveguides.
