Fixture For Polishing Optical-Fiber Ends
Abstract
Wedged and beveled ends lapped with precision for laser applications. See "Wedge Fibers Suppress Feedback of Laser Beam" (LAR-13074). For obtuse-angled wedge end, both sides of fiber polished similarly. After one side of fiber is lapped, fiber support removed. Holding block with fiber turned over, and fiber support replaced. Second side of fiber then lapped.
