Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide multi-fiber optical parts which themselves can make multi-fiber- single fiber conversion without using multi-fiber optical connectors by consisting said parts of the multi-fiber optical parts which have >=2 multi-fiber input/output ports and the multi-fiber-single fiber conversion parts which are connected to at least one multi-fiber input/output part of the multi-fiber optical parts and make multi-fiber-single fiber conversion. CONSTITUTION:A 2-fiber optical multiplexer/demultiplexer body 3 spectrally splits two beams of light to the light of a wavelength lambda1 and the light of a wavelength lambda2 if the light of the wavelengths lambda1, lambda2 is assumed to be projected to a 2-fiber optical multiplexer/demultiplexer 1 from a 2-fiber ferrule 8 thereof. Then, the light of the wavelength lambda1 arrives via a 2-fiber tape fiber 6 and a 2-fiber ferrule 9 at a 2-fiber ferrule 13 where the two fibers is separated into single fiber. The beams of the light are then respectively emitted from the single-fiber ferrules 14, 15. On the other hand, the light of the wavelength lambda2 is emitted via the tape fiber 7 from a 2-fiber ferrule 10. The two-fiber input is thus converted to a single-fiber output by the two-fiber optical multiplexer/demultiplexer itself without using the multi-fiber optical connector which makes multi-fiber-single fiber conversion.

Assuming that light with wavelengths 1 and 2 enters from the heart ferrule 8, the 26-light multiplexer/demultiplexer main body 3 splits the two lights into the light of wavelength 1 and the light of wavelength 2, and divides the two lights into wavelength 1 and 2. The light from a person reaches the two-core ferrule 13 via the two-core tape fiber 6 and the two-core ferrule 9, where the two cores are further separated into single cores and emitted from the single-core ferrules 14 and 15, respectively.
