OPTICAL COUPLING PART AND OPTICAL SWITCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18271899 titled 'OPTICAL COUPLING PART AND OPTICAL SWITCH
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes an optical coupler and switch designed to achieve stable optical characteristics with low power consumption and increased efficiency in the presence of external factors. The optical coupler includes a first ferrule with core centers of single core fibers arranged on the same circumference from the center on a fiber cross-section.
- Explanation of the patent:
- Optical coupler with core centers of single core fibers arranged on the same circumference for stable optical characteristics. - Low power consumption design for efficiency. - Resilient to external factors for reliable performance.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in telecommunications, data centers, fiber optic networks, and optical sensing systems.
Problems Solved
- Instability in optical characteristics. - High power consumption. - Sensitivity to external factors.
Benefits
- Stable optical characteristics. - Low power consumption. - Improved efficiency in various applications.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optical communication systems, fiber optic network equipment manufacturers, telecommunications companies, data centers, and optical sensor manufacturers can benefit from this technology.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing optical coupler designs with different configurations of core fiber arrangements.
Unanswered Questions
How does the design of the optical coupler contribute to its stability in optical characteristics?
The specific arrangement of core centers on the same circumference may play a crucial role in maintaining stable optical characteristics, but further details on the mechanism would be beneficial.
What external factors are considered in the design to ensure reliable performance?
While the disclosure mentions resilience to external factors, a deeper exploration of the specific factors and how they are mitigated would provide a clearer understanding of the technology's robustness.
Original Abstract Submitted
An objective of the present disclosure is to provide an optical coupler and an optical switch capable of achieving stable optical characteristics with low power consumption and more economical efficiency with respect to external factors. To achieve the objective, an optical coupler according to the present disclosure includes: a first ferrule in which core centers of one or a plurality of single core fibers are arranged on the same circumference from the center on a fiber cross-section;
