Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a light transmission arrangement according to the
- the coupling of light, which is emitted by an opto-electrical semiconductor component, for example a laser diode, into an optical fiber generally takes place via a light transmission surface as a coupling surface, which is arranged, for example, at a first end of the optical fiber.
- the light transmission surface must be positioned relative to an optical reference object, for example a lens that focuses the light beam.
- the coupling-in surface must also be fixed relative to the reference object in this position.
- Four degrees of freedom of movement of the coupling surface with respect to the reference object play a major role in positioning: three translational and one rotational.
- the latter is of particular importance when the fiber has a non-rotationally symmetric geometry to improve its optical properties and / or coupling efficiency.
- the light transmission surface of a fiber end surface may have a wedge-shaped or hyperbolic shape in order to couple in particular in an axial direction of highly divergent beams of light rays to facilitate.
- fibers - at least in the coupling region - have a rectangular core, which is adapted to the rectangular cross-section of a beam.
- polarization-maintaining fibers have non-rotationally symmetric cross-sectional profiles of the refractive index ellipsoid.
- the technical challenge in positioning the light transmission surface of an optical fiber with respect to a reference object is the execution of highly accurate and highly accurately controlled relative movements in the x-, y- and z-direction and optionally in the ⁇ -direction, with the elimination of all degrees of freedom in the optimal relative position both objects through their
- Positioning and fixing methods complement each other optimally if they have a long-term stable high
- US Pat. No. 6,690,865 B2 proposes determining the optimum relative position of light transmission surface (fiber end surface) and reference object (laser diode) by means of two separate movement patterns - a first in the xy plane and a second in the z axis.
- Faserendabites is positioned with the light transmission surface (coupling surface) alone with respect to the laser diode. For this reason, it is proposed in some writings, using an auxiliary element the
- auxiliary elements include support pads (US 4,955,683, US 5,469,456), V-trenches (US
- the object of the invention is to describe an auxiliary element for positioning the light transmission surface of an optical fiber with respect to a reference object - for example a laser diode - which allows a change in position of the light transmission surface in and / or around the Faserachsplatz without play in the transverse direction. It is another object of the invention to enable a simple and inexpensive production of the auxiliary element.
- the object is achieved by a method for producing a light transmission arrangement according to claim 1 and a light transmission arrangement according to claim 20.
- a guide section of the optical fiber is arranged in the radially positive-locking guide of a recess of an auxiliary element designated as a holding element, wherein the recess has been produced by molding an outer contour section of the optical fiber.
- a provided for guiding the fiber recess, which was not molded on the fiber to be positioned, will always have a positive cross-sectional tolerance to each fiber of a lot of several, in principle identical, fibers of manufacturing slightly different cross-sectional dimensions at least partially into or through the recess to be able to thread.
- a transverse clearance of the fiber section located in the recess of the retaining element can be expected. This is the case with all prior art ferrules that have not been made individually adapted to each fiber.
- a individually adapted to each fiber retaining element is made by the impression of the recess provided for guiding in the holding element on each fiber itself, wherein at least partially a radial positive engagement between the recess and fiber can be ensured due to manufacturing reasons.
- the radially positive-locking guide in the holding elements ensures an extremely low-backlash, substantially backlash-free, storage of the guide portion, wherein a change in the position of the light transmission surface in Faserachsplatz and / or around the fiber axis substantially without a transverse movement can take place when the holding element is fixed.
- the invention-related separation of the degrees of freedom of movement into two groups - a first group of transversal degrees of freedom of movement and a second group of axial degrees of freedom of movement - becomes a simple, faster and thus more cost-effective positioning process of the light transmission surface with respect to the reference object, by utilizing the first set of transversal degrees of freedom of movement by movement of the support member including guide portion of the optical fiber in at least one direction perpendicular to the fiber axis and the second set of axial degrees of freedom by performing sliding movement of the guide portion of the optical fiber in the recess of the support member ,
- Both groups of degrees of freedom of movement can be eliminated individually and independently of one another: the first group of transversal degrees of freedom of movement by fixing the position holding element with respect to the reference object and the second group of degrees of axial freedom by fixing the position of the light transmission surface with respect to the holding element.
- Fixing conditions are adapted and optimized in the light transmission arrangement.
- the holding element can also be moved in the z direction, wherein the optical fiber slides in the recess without the distance of the light transmission surface from the reference object changing.
- the distance of the holding element from the reference object can be adjusted, so that a joint gap of optimal thickness arises between the two components.
- a reliable result of the manufacture of the light transmission arrangement according to the invention can be ensured both with regard to the positioning accuracy and both the short-term and the long-term fixation accuracy.
- the guide section of the fiber guided in the holding element has a substantially constant cross section in the fiber axis direction
- the guide section of the fiber can be displaced in the recess of the holding element in the direction of the fiber axis (z direction) without the position of the light transmission surface in the x or y direction undergoes a change.
- the guide section of the fiber guided in the holding element also has a non-rotationally symmetrical cross section, the position of the light transmission surface in the direction of rotation ( ⁇ ) can also be kept constant.
- the guide section of the fiber guided in the holding element has a rotationally symmetrical, for example cylindrical, cross section, then the guide section of the fiber can be rotated in the recess of the holding element about an axis of rotation corresponding to the fiber axis, without the position of the light transmission surface in the x or y direction undergoes a change.
- Does the one in the Holding element guided guide section of the fiber also has a variable in Faserachsraum cross-section, so the position of the light transmission surface in the z-direction can be kept constant.
- the positioning according to the invention of the light transmission surface with respect to its rotation about the fiber axis is particularly advantageous in the case where the light transmission surface used as the light input or output region or the light-conducting regions of the fiber are not rotationally symmetrical with respect to the fiber axis in the coupling or decoupling region , Without transverse play in the guide, the position of the axis of rotation is identical to the axis of the fiber, allowing fast and inexpensive positioning of the fiber azimuth.
- optical fibers with fiber end faces which geometrically achieve a non-rotationally symmetrical lens effect, for example ground cylindrical surfaces on the fiber end surface or on the fiber end face, whose orientation must be adjusted at an angle to the reference object to an optimal transmission.
- optical fibers are concerned which at least in sections have a non-rotationally symmetric fiber core, for example a fiber core with a rectangular cross section, which is particularly suitable for coupling, guiding and / or beam shaping non-rotationally symmetrical light beams.
- the optical fibers of fiber lasers fall into this category.
- optical fibers having polarization-maintaining properties and optical fibers having a plurality of fiber cores, in particular a double core require positioning of the fiber azimuth.
- the light transmission arrangement according to the invention is neither limited to the use of a specific optical fiber nor to the conduction of light of a specific wavelength.
- the optical fiber may at least partially have a photonic crystal structure and / or be part of a fiber laser and / or a branched fiber structure.

- the fiber cladding radially form-fitting surrounding coating section of the rest of the coating and Fiber clad separates or dissolves.
- outer circumferential surface portions of other fiber components can be molded, for example, the fiber core or the fiber coating.
- a substance is used for the impression, which changes its state during and / or after the impression, for example by changing from a state of increased deformability (lower dimensional stability) to a state of reduced deformability (higher dimensional stability).
- this change in state involves a reduction in the viscosity of the substance, which may, for example, be characterized substantially by a decrease in viscosity or by a decrease in plasticity.
- This change can be generated isothermally - for example, chemically induced or by radiation - or else temperature-induced; both by increasing the temperature - for example, in the Curing of an adhesive - as well as by lowering the temperature - for example, during the solidification of a solder below its solidus temperature.
- the substance adapts during the impression to the outer contour section of the fiber to be shaped, optionally under the action of elevated temperature or elevated pressure.

- the recess according to the invention is formed on the outer contour portion of the fiber by substantially purely plastic material deformation, for example, by the exercise of one or more forces on a retaining element of structural elasticity.
- the holding element passes from a first form of missing in the force-free state positive engagement by plastic deformation in a second form of existing in the force-free state positive engagement. Due to the possibly existing after plastic deformation residual stresses in the holding element may also be a, albeit small, frictional connection between the holding element and the optical fiber.
- the retaining element is substantially completely or at least in terms of its volume and / or its mass predominantly of the solidified substance.
- the holding element in addition to the solidifying substance on other substances that are not directly involved in the molding of the outer contour portion. Nevertheless, it can for the molding process and for the stability of the holding element after Conclusion of the impression be advantageous, for example, when using a cured adhesive mechanically stabilizing filler.
- the inventive sliding movement of the guide portion of the optical fiber in the recess of the holding element assumes that there is no material connection and at most a limited, preferably. Small, frictional connection between the molded fiber portion and the holding element produced by molding.
- the molded outer contour portion of the fiber may be subjected to a passivation process prior to molding, which is intended to prevent the penetration of a material connection of the optical fiber with the surrounding substance or to weaken a cohesive connection of the optical fiber with the surrounding substance.
- passivation processes include wetting with a - for example liquid or powdery - release agent, the application of a coating which has no or only a slight adhesion to the outer contour portion and forms a material bond with the molding substance, and the application of a coating on the the outer contour portion has a liability and enters into no cohesive connection with the molding substance.
