Method of forming a coupling lens at the end of an optical fibre on the core of the latter

Abstract

Abstract A glass fragment R is bonded to the end of a fibre F and converted into a hemispherical lens by melting with the aid of a plasma P, the centring of this lens on the core of the fibre resulting from the compositional identity of this fragment and of the core. Application to telecommunications.
