Abstract

See full text

This invention concerns a method for connecting optical fibres, comprising stages consisting in (i) effecting a controlled rough polishing of the interface (5) of the fibres (1) to be connected, (ii) steeping the ends of the fibres (1) in a concentrated solution hydrofluoric acid and (iii) aligning then connecting the fibres (1) using an index matching material (FIG. 4). The invention also concerns a variable optical attenuator and a system using this attenuator to measure the effect of the reflection coefficient on an optical line.
