METHOD TO PRODUCE POLYMER CONVERTER FOR CONNECTING OPTICAL FIBRES

The method to produce a polymer converter for connecting optical fibres according to the present invention is characterized by the polymer converter is created between optical fibres made of different materials. The polymer converter for connecting fibres made of different materials, being a polymer microbridge (1) created at the end faces of the pair of optical fibres (2 and 3) positioned in front of each other, wherein at least one of the fibres is a plastic fibre made in the photopolymerisation process. The mixture of the photopolymerising substance introduced as a drop between the end faces consists of Eosin Y, co-initiator (MDEA - methyldiethanolamine) and multifunction monomers: pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA) and additionally heptafluorobutyl acrylate (HFBA) for connecting the optical fibres.
