FIBER CONNECTING DEVICE WITH MECHANICAL ELEMENT AND INTEGRATED FIBER SENSOR, FIBER CONNECTING DEVICE MODULE, AND METHOD OF CONNECTING TWO FIBERS

Fiber connecting devices (100) are described that include a mechanical element (160) that may be opened and closed a plurality of times using an actuation mechanism (150, 150′), where the mechanism (150, 150′) allows for securing of the glass portions (56, 56′) of two optical fibers (50, 50′) at the...

Summary:Fiber connecting devices (100) are described that include a mechanical element (160) that may be opened and closed a plurality of times using an actuation mechanism (150, 150′), where the mechanism (150, 150′) allows for securing of the glass portions (56, 56′) of two optical fibers (50, 50′) at the same or different times, and allows for connection of the optical fibers (50, 50′). Methods of connecting two optical fibers (50, 50′) using such a device (100) are also described.
