Mechanism research on lapping of optical fiber end-face
The material removal mechanism in optical fiber lapping is presented. With diamond lapping-film whose abrasive grain size is from micron to sub-micron
when the nominal lapping pressure was 0.48 MPa
the optical fiber end-face lapping experiment was conducted on optical fiber connector lapping machine of KE-OFP-12. The experiment results show that there are three material removal modes during lapping optical fiber
i.e. brittle fracture mode
semi-brittle and semi-ductile mode
and ductile mode. These modes are mainly controlled by abrasive grain size; there appears brittle-ductile transition's critical point when the lapping-films whose abrasive grain size is 3 μm is used to lap optical fiber. And these material modes are analyzed theoretically. The surface roughness can reach nanometer grade and there are not any scratches and cracks on the fiber end-face when fiber material is removed by ductile mode; and only sub-micron grade surface roughness can be gotten when fiber material is removed by brittle fracture mode. It proves that the ductile lapping mode is an effective method that improves surface quality of fiber end-face.
