To obtain an optically efficient joint between ends of two facing optical fiber strands used for communication and/or light transmission has proved a difficult task. The difficulty is that the ends of each of the fibers must be face-to-face and share a common axis or else there will be attenuation losses.
This is because any rays emitted from the end of the optical core of one fiber if not accepted by the opposing end of the receiving fiber will result in a loss of the received signal. Efficiency in this instance is reduced in power in the ratio of: ##EQU1##
This efficiency is usually indicated as a logarithmic function designated in decibels and having the formula:
N=10 log10 P1 /P2
N=the power loss in decibels
P2 =energy received by 2nd fiber
P1 =energy emitted by 1st fiber
By using this notation, the total of all the losses in a system (in decibels) is the arithmetic sum of the losses of each part.
Optical fibers are prepared for mechanical alignment by fracture to produce a planar face normal to the fiber axis of the fibers or the ends of the fibers are ground and polished to produce an optical surface normal to the fiber axis.
It is one thing to prepare an optical fiber and another problem to insure alignment along the axis of the two fibers. Any eccentricity with respect to the common axis will result in an attenuation loss or loss in efficiency at the joint.
In general, when two optical fibers are to be brought in face-to-face relationship with each other, the approach has been the fabrication of elements of the connector to extremely close tolerances and to insure that the fine bores for receiving the optical fibers will be in proper alignment.
This ignores, however, the fact that the bores for receiving the optical fibers are oversized with respect to the fibers to enable the receipt of the optical fibers in slidable relationship and to provide for the addition of a cement to bond the fiber in place.
Unless by chance each fiber is perfectly centered in their receiving bores, the axis of the abutting fibers will not be in line and a loss of efficiency will result. The probability of making a coupling with both optical fibers sharing a common axis at the point of coupling is very small. With many connectors over a long span, the sum of the attenuation loss will result in an unacceptable loss in overall efficiency.
The present invention is to provide a method for insuring perfect alignment between the axis of two facing optical fibers in a coupling or other connection when the facing fibers are bonded in a bore by cement and apparatus to achieve this result, even in the field.
The method of interfacing two optical fibers in a coupling device in perfect face-to-face contact with alignment along an essentially common axis is predicated on indiscriminate bonding of an optical fiber in a closely fitting bore of a connector, then sizing the connector about the axis of the bonded optical fiber to the diameter of the receptacle for receiving the connector. When the prepared connector is inserted in the receptacle, perfect alignment with an optical fiber provided by the receptacle or another connector prepared in the same fashion as the first insures mating of the optical fibers along a common axis.
In particular, the method for centering the central axis of an optical fiber with respect to the centerline of its receiving connector and a central axis of another optical fiber involves bonding the optical fiber in the bore of a connector, the bore having a greater internal diameter than the optical fiber to receive said optical fiber and bonding agent therefore, in slidable relation. The outside diameter of the connector, if male, is greater than the receiving diameter of a female receptacle having a centerline and including an optical fiber having a central axis in line with the centerline of the receptacle. Machining the outer diameter of the connector about the central axis of the bonded optical fiber to the internal diameter of the receptacle insures the central axis of the secured optical fiber will be aligned with the centerline of the receptacle and central axis of the provided optical fiber when the machined coupling is inserted in the receptacle. If the connector is female, the interior surface is undersized and machined to the exterior diameter of the receptacle. Both operations can be employed for a compound coupler assembly and two male connectors can be machined for insertion in a common receptacle. In any instance, the provided optical fibers come into facial contact along an essentially common axis.
More specifically, the method comprises bonding the optical fiber into a connector (oversized or undersized) in respect to the receptacle, securing the connector with the bonded optical fiber into a platform associated with a machining tool containing a magnifying means, preferably a microscope. The platform is carriage mounted and has at least two degrees of movement to enable centering the axis of the optical fiber with respect to a reference axis provided by the magnifying means then moving the coupling through a rotating cutting means through advancement of the carriage to the said cutting means to machine the exterior or interior surface to the diameter of its receptacle such that the central axis of the optical fiber will be in the centerline of the machined coupling. This operation eliminates, to the maximum extent possible, attenuation losses and is independent of the accuracy with which the optical fiber is bonded to the connector in relation to the center of its central bore hole.
The apparatus for machining optical fiber connectors comprises a stand supporting a magnifying means providing a reference axis. Cutting means radially spaced from the reference axis is adapted to a machine, a cylindrical cut at a fixed radial circumference about the reference axis. There is provided means to rotate said cutting means about the reference axis. A carriage mounted platform is provided for receiving a connector in fixed relation to said platform with the central axis of a connector contained optical fiber being in a plane essentially common with the reference axis. Means are included to align the central axis of the optical fiber with the reference axis and to advance the connector through movement of the carriage for machining contact with said cutting means along the first reference axis.
To insure perfect facing of the connector, means may be added to polish the facing by grinding the surface of the connector normal to the bonded optical fiber to provide a perfect surface for face-to-face contact with another connector prepared in a similar fashion.
The apparatus may be constructed to be protable to enable the connectors to be prepared in the field.
The connector provided for operation by the apparatus includes a male or female connector which is machinable and oversized or undersized with respect to a receptacle therefore. It includes a bore hole containing a secured optical fiber which terminates at one end exposing a face of the optical fiber. Machining the connector about the central axis of the bonded optical fiber to the internal or external diameter of the receptacle enables by means, such as a nut cooperating with a lock ring, and when the connector to be slid into or over the receptacle to be secured in place in face-to-face contact with another optical fiber with the central axis of each inessential common alignment.
FIG. 1A is a detailed description of a coupling system made functional in accordance with the practice of this invention.
FIG. 1B is an illustration of an alternate coupling system.
FIG. 2 illustrates a sideview of the apparatus for machining connectors containing bonded optical fibers.
FIG. 3 is a top view from the portion of the apparatus of FIG. 2 along cut 3--3 which illustrates the detail of the jig for two directional movements of the optical fiber relative to the reference axis of the microscope.
FIG. 4 illustrates a polishing disk for use with the apparatus of FIG. 2 and FIG. 3.
Although utile for creating perfect alignment between optical fibers of any coupling system based on joining of cylindrically surfaced elements, the method and apparatus of this invention may be described in terms of its use in connection with the optical fiber coupling shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B.
With reference to FIG. 1A, the coupling consists of two machininable connectors or ferrules 10 and 12, each providing a recess 14 for lock ring 16.
Each connector is provided with a fine central bore hole 18, which may be laser drilled, for receiving optical fiber 20 in sliding relation. The bore hole is oversized to also permit the presence of a bonding agent 22, organic or inorganic based, such as epoxy resins and ceramic cements and the like which secure the fiber to the connector. The balance of the optical fiber includes its insulation, a protective surrounding sheath or ruggedizing overcoat 34 extends along central bore 26 of larger diameter. Conical ends 28 are adapted for insertion of the optical fiber and its sheath in slidable relationship with sufficient space therebetween for inclusion of any additional inorganic and/or organic bonding agent or cement for securing the optical fiber and its surrounding sheath in place. Optical fiber constructions utile in the invention are described in "Fibers and Integrated Optics," Hadara; Crane, Russak & Company, Inc., New York, Volume 1, No. 1, 1977, incorporated herein by reference with particular reference to pages 46 to 50.
When fabricated, connectors 10 and 12 are oversized with respect to receptacle 30 which normally has flats on its outer surface for receiving a wrench. The connectors are machined, after optical fiber bonding, about the central axis of the optical fiber to the internal diameter of the receptacle 30 to insure the central axis of the optical fibers and centerline of the receptacle will be in common.
Using nuts 32 alone or in conjunction with annular slide rings 34, an interface 36 with the optical fibers of each central bore in perfect alignment is achieved. That is, the absence or essential absence of eccentricity with respect to fiber alignment. This is achieved by tightening of nuts 32 along the threaded portion of receptacle 30, the pressure being provided against the surfaces of lock rings 16 to press connectors 10 and 12 in facing relation, such that the provided optical fibers 20 will be in face-to-face abutting relation with the central axis of each being aligned with each other.
While FIG. 1A illustrates a system for coupling the lengths of optical fibers together, there may be used a more complex coupling system as illustrated in FIG. 1B. Male coupling 11 containing optical fiber 20 for connection to a panel and the like is mated with female connector 38. In this instance, the outside diameter of connector 11 may be oversized and machined about a common centerline of the connector and contained optical fiber. In addition or alternatively and after bonding the optical fiber in connector 38, the internal surface 40 of connector 38 may be machined about the axis of the optical fiber to mate in sliding relation to the outer diameter of connector 11 to insure proper alignment of optical fibers 20 when a connection is made through nut 32.
Thus, to achieve perfect alignment between facing optical fibers by simple means, connectors 10 and 12 of FIG. 1A or 38 and/or 11 of FIG. B are oversized or undersized and machined with the apparatus described herein and illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 to enable the coupling to be made.
With reference to FIG. 2, the apparatus for machining the connectors consist of a base 100 housing a crank 102 including gear 104 coupled to a gear 106 which is, in turn, coupled by gear 108 through a threaded shaft 110 to gear 112. Gear 112 is on a microscope housing 116 which is contained in sleeve 114. Housing 116 is secured against lateral movement by means of external housing 118 and upper and lower bearings 120 and 122, typically ball and/or roller bearings.
Microscope housing 116 (20-50X), typically includes an eye piece 124 and focusing lenses 126 and 128 as well as a lense 130 containing cross hairs or similar positioning aid 132 for forming a reference axis "x". For work illuminating purposes, bulb 131 and lense or one way mirror 133 may be provided, with electrical connections through sliding contacts or brushes 135 and 137.
Mounting at the lower end of rotatable housing 116, are one or more cutters 134 positioned, as shown, for machining the external surface of coupling 10 secured on platform 136. By turning crank 102, threaded half nut 138 through manipulation of screw 140 enables selective raising and lowering of carriage 142 by engaging threaded shaft 110 along a guide path 143 provided by the stand which is parallel to the reference axis "x" and shaft 110. Turning crank 102 rotates through shaft 110, gear 108, and housing 116 about reference axis "x". Single or multiple cutters 134 are fixed at a predetermined distance from reference axis "x", and will machine the outer surface of connector 10 when it is advanced to their cutting edges, normally diamond. The distance is fixed by set screws 144 which permit replacement, reversal of cutters for internal machining and insertion of the polishing disk of FIG. 4.
With further reference to FIG. 3 to bring the center of optical fiber 20 in the reference "x" axis, frame 158 of platform 136 is moved by a micrometer screw 146 through knob 148 in the "y" direction.
To provide a net movement in the "z" direction, there is provided a pivot point 150 in communication with pin 152 contained in frame 158 which is biased against pivot point 150 by spring 154, the amount of pressure being determined by screw 156.
Connector 10 is retained in frame 158 by holding block 160 and set screws 162. Adjustment in the "z" direction is achieved through pivoting about point 150 through turning of micrometer screw 164 through rotation of knob 168.
By adjusting micrometer screws 146 and 164 (e.g. 40 threads to the inch) through their respective knobs 148 and 168, the center of the optical fiber 20 is pivoted and laterially moved until its central axis is aligned with the reference axis "x" as determined by the centering point 132 and lense 130. Turning crank 120 will rotate the microscope assembly 116 to insure perfect alignment by permitting final adjustments to eliminate any remaining eccentricity.
By turning crank 102 and engaging threaded half nut 138 with threaded shaft 110, cutters 134 are rotated, and the connector 10 advanced towards the microscope and machined about the central axis of the optical fiber 20.
With reference to FIG. 1A, in machining connector 12 is an identical manner, there is prepared a pair of connectors in which the optical fibers will have their central axis in common with the centerline of receptacle 30. This accounts fully for any eccentric positioning of optical fibers with respect to oversized bore holes 18. As will be appreciated, the same result will occur in machining one or both of the connectors shown in FIG. 1B.
Half nut 138, in operation, is moved by screw 140 against bias spring 170. When released, half nut 138 moves away from shaft 110 to disengage carriage 142 such that carriage 142 will not be advanced towards the cutters when crank 102 is rotated.
As already indicated, this situation is used, first of all, in insuring that the center of optical fiber 20 is in the "x" axis. Since alignment cross hairs 132 can be rotated about the desired point, any eccentricity can be detected and cured by adjustment in "y" and/or "z" directions.
For creating, if necessary, a true planar surface normal to the "x" axis there is shown in FIG. 4, a polished disk for attachment to the rotating portion of assembly 116. It, as shown, consists of plate 172 having the undersurface coated with an abrasive such as diamond dust 174. Internal flange 176 has through openings 178 in its sides for insertion of cutters 134 or pins of equivalent diameter. Upon addition to microscope assembly 116, it serves to cap the end. The position of connector 10 is moved by available adjustments to a position eccentric to the "x" axis. Carriage 142 is advanced to the polishing head or disk and assembly 116 rotated to achieve the polishing operation. If a greater penetration is necessary to insure a planar surface, half nut 130 is employed to advance connector 10 into the polishing head.
The system as shown is entirely portable and suited to field preparation of couplings. As will be apparent, mechanical elements can be replaced by electrical and/or pneumatic assemblies for shop applications which achieve the same function.
What is critical, however, is the apparatus function independent of the initial position of bonded optical fiber with respect to its bore hole. As a result, in a completed connection essentially perfect alignment of the axis of mating optical fibers will be insured.

The new home of
The parish of Brighstone, with its thatched cottages and delightfully quaint streets, is almost the perfect representation of a picture postcard village.
Situated on the south-west coast of the island and lying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Brighstone is a peaceful haven away from the pressures of modern life, while still being within easy reach of many of the attractions that the Isle of Wight has to offer.
The village itself has a selection of shops and a couple of historic public houses where you can enjoy a drink and a bite to eat in cosy, traditional surroundings. The Brighstone Museum is located within a row of delightful cottages and transports visitors back to life as it was in the village during the 19th century.
Two of the most popular activities in the area are walking and cycling. The sandy heathland that stretches away from the village contains a number of pathways that take you through some beautiful countryside. Your walk may even lead you to some ancient monuments, mainly burial mounds, dating back to the Bronze Age.
As the Isle of Wight is fairly compact in area, the majority of the main tourist towns are within easy reach of Brighstone. The town of Newport is just six miles away, while the holiday resorts of Ventnor, Shanklin and Sandown are not much further. A short distance to the west is the famous 'Needles'.
If you are looking for a holiday destination that offers both tranquillity and easy access to a wide variety of attractions and resorts, Brighstone holiday cottages may be the perfect choice.

Sorry, this product is no longer in stock.
A holy grail product
Posted by doppelganger on Aug 31, 2013
I didn't think much of that at first, it seemed like there was a gimmick or something. But it had rave reviews, they said it works wonders. So since it's really cheap, I got it. In the begging, there's no results, it may help the cysts reveal and come to the surface. You may have less spots and zits..but the wonder to it is that it unclogges the pores, and minimizes them. It REALLY REALLY does so.You will be amazed progressively. Just take some photos of yourself now and 2 months-6months later. Cut the pads in 2 or 3, they are pretty big for only one use.I highly recommend and I will most definetely repurchuse! (55 pads in three pieces last me a year)

Your affordable weapon against clogged pores.
Posted by 4938435939620341318 on Jun 28, 2013
I'm loving these Stridex pads, seriously. They work better on oily skin, since salicylic acid is your ally against sebum. I feel that my pores seem cleaner, so that's great! There's a lot of liquid in the container, so your pads will always be saturated, I even squish them a tiny bit, because I feel it's too much. This is also nice if you want to do some spot treatment with a cotton bud and not waste a pad.

It does help to shrink pimples
Like it.
Posted by 5579415122528626084 on Jun 07, 2016
I used to have acne and finally I found these pads which helped me almost to get rid of my problem. I tried to use salicylic acid and a lot of other stuff but it did not help. I am very surprised that this one really helped and I ordered it the second time. I cut these pads half and for me it's enough to use it once per day.
"Permanent" Acne Disappearing!
Posted by 5761673724325660578 on Feb 26, 2015
I started wiping my face with a Stridex pad every night after cleansing, focusing mainly on the right side of my face, which tends to be covered in spots that never go away. After doing this every night for two weeks, the skin there is now completely smooth to the touch! I never experienced any side effects such as dry skin, but YMMV based on your skin type (mine is acne-prone and slightly oily). Highly recommended! PS. My skin care routine, if it helps anyone: AM: Cleanse, moisturise PM: Cleanse, Stridex (allow to dry before going to bed)
Posted by 5039748046900833545 on Mar 10, 2015
llevo poco tiempo, pero parece que funciona, mi piel esta mejor!
Best for oily skin!
Posted by 4640997386306818530 on Mar 11, 2015
I have the grossest, oiliest skin, and have had problems with enlarged pores, closed whiteheads all over my forehead and chin, this seriously was like... a miracle. I have very sensitive skin, so for the first few times I used it, it did burn a little bit, but nothing too over the top. It worked really, really, really fast, and I can't recommend this to anyone enough! Seriously, if you have issues with acne, or just random bumps all over your face, or gigantic pores, try this. It's cheap, it's worth a shot!
Excellent chemical exfoliant for oily skin
Posted by yvlogs on Apr 20, 2015
This brought all the gunk from my pimples straight to the surface overnight. I use these every third day with my very oily skin. The pads are very saturated, so when I've used the pad on my face, I then use it on my shoulders and back. My back was a nightmare and now it's totally clear, while my face is definitely showing signs of improvement in tandem with oil cleansing. I'll be repurchasing the bigger pack soon, very impressed with this product, especially for such a reasonable price. Remember to wait about half an hour before applying your moisturiser over top! Chemical exfoliation requires an acidic pH and if you add additional products, you negate the exfoliant.

He loves it and is treasuring it. It's really helping with his acne and clearing his skin up. He can also take it to school with him and wipe as needed.

Bets on Soccer Draw Alarm the Bookies
Just two weekends ago, seven bookmakers, including Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, suspended betting on a soccer match between Italian clubs Chievo and Catania, suspecting it might be fixed after bettors wagered more than $2.98 million the game would end in a tie. (It did: the final score was 1-1, pictured above.) On Sunday, gamblers again appeared to be unusually confident Chievo's match with Parma would result in a draw, and several bookmakers stopped taking bets on that particular wager. Sure enough, Chievo blew several chances to score, and the match finished 0-0.

Obama's Bracket Needs a Stimulus
President Barack Obama's NCAA men's basketball bracket looks a lot like yours and mine: Tons of mistakes. After getting off to a good start, Mr. Obama's bracket collapsed amid the avalanche of upsets that have marked this year's tournament. The presidential bracket, which had Kansas winning it all, is in the 55.8th percentile of the nearly 4.8 million entries in ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge. Only two members of his Final Four—Villanova, Kansas State, Kentucky and Kansas—even got past the second round.
