Abstract

In this paper, a POF connector based on a two ball lens system is researched. To analysis the coupling efficiency of the connector, a numerical model was established using ray tracing method and four defects of transverse offset, longitudinal offset, angular misalignment and gap between two ball lenses in the coupling system are calculated. The calculation results show that the POF connector based on a two ball lens system can improve the coupling efficiency between two fibers and has good tolerance to the connection defects of transverse, longitudinal and angular misalignments.
