Forked optical light guide branch mfr. - by glow discharge butt welding of reduced branch cross=section
TLDR
In this paper, the end faces of the optical light guides are reduced by etching, followed by grinding a flat at an angle of 5 degrees so that they fit stepless to the incoming optical light guide.Abstract:
Forked branches of optical light guides are produced by welding by reducing the end faces of the branch fibres through a ground inclined flat. The remaining end faces are butt-joined to the end face of the trunk fibre where they are fixed to each other in a T-joint. The ends of the branch lines of the optical light guides are reduced in dia. by etching, followed by grinding a flat at an angle of 5 degrees so that they fit stepless to the end face of the incoming optical light guide. The reduction of the end face areas of the branches causes a stepless fusion of the fibres, particularly if a welding method based on a glow discharge gap is used.read more

Glass fibre attenuation test rig - with light sources of different wavelength coupled by branch junctions to test fibre
TL;DR: The attenuation of glass fibres which are uses as optical light guides is measured at various wavelengths by coupling the test specimen with a receiver at the for end to an emitter casing as mentioned in this paper.

Process for polishing an optical fibre, use in the realisation of optical coupling devices
TL;DR: In this paper, a process for the abrasion of an optical fiber (5 or 48 or 50 or 50a) comprising a core (43) and a sheath (44), with a view to at least partially stripping the core of the fibre is described.
