Abstract
Provided is an optical communication connector that includes a control unit (42). The control unit (42) controls alignment of a ferrule (170) and a lens (162). The ferrule (170) is to fix a fiber (23). The control unit (42) varies a shape of a shape variation member (21) on the basis of a communication quality of light entering the fiber (23) via the lens (162) to control the alignment.
Claims20
An optical communication connector comprising
- a control unit that controls alignment of a ferrule and a lens, the ferrule being to fix a fiber, wherein
- the control unit varies a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light entering the fiber via the lens to control the alignment.
A control method comprising:
- causing a processer to control alignment of a ferrule and a lens, the ferrule being to fix a fiber;
- and
- causing the processor to vary a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light entering the fiber via the lens to thereby control the alignment.
An optical communication connector comprising
- a control unit that controls alignment of an optical device and a lens, wherein
- the control unit varies a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light reaching the optical device via the lens to control the alignment.
A control method comprising:
- causing a processor to control alignment of an optical device and a lens;
- and
- causing the processor to vary a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light reaching the optical device via the lens to thereby control the alignment.
An optical communication connector comprising
- a control unit that controls alignment of a first ferrule and a second ferrule, the first ferrule being to fix a first fiber, the second ferrule being to fix a second fiber, wherein
- the control unit varies a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light entering the first fiber via the second fiber to control the alignment.
A control method comprising:
- causing a processor to control alignment of a first ferrule and a second ferrule, the first ferrule being to fix a first fiber, the second ferrule being to fix a second fiber;
- and
- causing the processor to vary a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light entering the first fiber via the second fiber to thereby control the alignment.
An optical communication apparatus comprising
- a control unit that controls alignment of a ferrule and a lens, the ferrule being to fix a fiber, wherein
- the control unit varies a shape of a shape variation member on a basis of a communication quality of light entering the fiber via the lens to control the alignment.
