摘要：A dielectric optical waveguide coupling consists of a pair of identical plugsengaged in a double socket. Each plug consists of a sleeve and capillary bore glass tubewithin the sleeve arranged so that an annular space exists between an interior wall of thesleeve and an exterior wall of the tube. A dielectric optical waveguide is threadedthrough the capillary bore and rigidly fixed therein. A slide, consisting of a tube, can slidewithin the annular space. A second length of capillary bore tube is fixed within the slide,and the dielectric optical waveguide is partially inserted within, and is free to slide withrespect to the bore of this tube. The socket consists of a third length of capillary boretube surrounded by a collar. On inserting the plugs into the socket the slide movesbackwards causing two lengths of dielectric optical waveguide, one from each plug, toenter the bore of the third length of capillary bore tube. When two lengths of dielectricoptical waveguide abutt, an optical coupling is formed and the plugs can be locked inposition. A modification of the coupling permits the simultaneous joining of a plurality ofdielectric optical waveguides.
