Abstract
A method for fabricating an optical fiber impulse sensor having an optical fiber and a molded portion molded around the perimeter of the optical fiber. The method forms, in the molded portion, an optical fiber insertion hole and an optical fiber insertion slit for inserting the optical fiber into the optical fiber insertion hole. The method inserts the optical fiber from the slit into the optical fiber insertion hole.
Claims4
A method for fabricating an optical fiber impulse sensor comprising an optical fiber and a molded portion molded around the perimeter of the optical fiber, the method comprising the steps of:
- forming, in the molded portion, an optical fiber insertion hole and an optical fiber insertion slit for inserting the optical fiber into the optical fiber insertion hole, and
- inserting the optical fiber from the slit into the optical fiber insertion hole.
A method for fabricating an optical fiber impulse sensor comprising an optical fiber and a molded portion molded around the perimeter of the optical fiber, the method comprising the steps of:
- extruding and molding a mold material;
- using a die for pressing and molding that comprises a protrusion formed in an integral shape of an optical fiber insertion hole and an optical fiber insertion slit, to press and mold the mold material to form the molded portion, and form therein the optical fiber insertion hole and the optical fiber insertion slit;
- inserting the optical fiber from the slit into the optical fiber insertion hole, and
- filling the optical fiber insertion hole and the slit with a filler.
