Abstract
The properties of the optical connection of single-mode fibers by laser beams counter-propagating from the ends of these fibers are considered numerically and experimentally. It is established that effective connection of single-mode fibers at the wavelength of 1.55 μm is possible during self-channeling and interaction of optical beams at 0.63 μm in a photo-polymerizing medium. It is shown by computer simulation and obtained experimentally that for the 1...2-mm-long polymer connector and the ~15-μm radial displacement, the efficiency of the optical connection of the SMF-28 and CS-980 single-mode fibers in the photopolymerizable composite based on OCM-2 can achieve 80...90% and 50...60%, respectively.
