  • Claim: 1. A manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler, wherein the method comprises the following steps: (1) manufacturing the optical fiber coupler by a fused biconical tapering process which employs a parallel sintering process, and detecting via a tension test the strength of the optical fiber resulting from the sintering process, securing the strength of the optical fiber being equal to or larger than 1 N; (2) fixing both ends of the sintered optical fiber coupler in a U-shaped quartz groove via hardening adhesive, and filling inside of the U-shaped quartz groove around the coupling arm at both ends thereof with adhesive to shorten the suspending length of the optical fiber; (3) inserting the U-shaped quartz groove containing the optical fiber coupler according to the step (2) into a circular quartz tube, and fixing both ends of the circular quartz tube via hardening adhesive; and (4) sleeving a stainless steel tube around the circular quartz tube, and sealing both ends of the stainless steel tube.
  • Claim: 2. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 1, wherein the hardening adhesive in steps (2) and (3) is thermosetting adhesive.
  • Claim: 3. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 2, wherein the following step is further carried out after step (3): (3)′ putting the circular quartz tube resulting from step (3) into a high-temperature box for high temperature treatment, and the high temperature treatment is carried out at the temperature of 83° C.˜87° C. for 2˜3 hours; then is carried out at the temperature of 108° C.˜112° C. for 1˜2 hours.
  • Claim: 4. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 1, 2 or 3, wherein the adhesive with which the inside of the U-shaped quartz groove is filled around the coupling arm at both ends in step (2) is ultraviolet adhesive.
  • Claim: 5. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 1, wherein the optical fiber cladding is removed by a thermal peeling process in the fused biconical tapering process of step (1), with the temperature at the sintering flame center in the parallel sintering process being above 1500° C., and the strength of the optical fiber after the sintering process is greater than or equal to 1 N.
  • Claim: 6. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 2, wherein the thermosetting adhesive is epoxy resin adhesive.
  • Claim: 7. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 4, wherein the ultraviolet adhesive has a glass transition temperature below −50° C.
  • Claim: 8. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 1, wherein in step (4) the stainless steel tube is sleeved around the circular quartz tube after the circular quartz tube is clad with silicone rubber.
  • Claim: 9. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 8, wherein the difference between the external diameter of the circular quartz tube and the internal diameter of the stainless steel tube in step (4) is at least 0.6 mm, and the gap therebetween is fully filled with silicone rubber.
  • Claim: 10. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 2, wherein the adhesive with which the inside of the U-shaped quartz groove is filled around the coupling arm at both ends in step (2) is ultraviolet adhesive.
  • Claim: 11. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 10, wherein the ultraviolet adhesive has a glass transition temperature below −50° C.
  • Claim: 12. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 3, wherein the adhesive with which the inside of the U-shaped quartz groove is filled around the coupling arm at both ends in step (2) is ultraviolet adhesive.
  • Claim: 13. The manufacturing method of a high-reliability optical fiber coupler according to claim 12, wherein the ultraviolet adhesive has a glass transition temperature below −50° C.
  • Current U.S. Class: 264/125
  • Current International Class: 02
