Patent ID: 11886012

Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a versatile optical fiber lateral output device that can deal with various types of optical fiber core wires. An optical fiber input-output device according to the present invention includes: a first jig 11 including a recess portion 22 and an optical input-output means 51; a second jig 12 including a projection portion 23 and a guide groove 24; and a pressing unit 14 configured to apply a pressing force in a direction in which the recess portion 22 of the first jig 11 and the projection portion 23 of the second jig 12 approach each other so as to bend an optical fiber core wire 100. Letting R1 be a curvature radius of the recess portion 22 of the first jig 11, θ1 be a central angle of the recess portion 22, R2 be a curvature radius of the projection portion 23 of the second jig 12, and θ2 be a central angle of the projection portion 23, R2≤R1 and θ2≤θ1 are satisfied.
