  • Publication number: 20220314554
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method of fixing an optical fiber and a measuring apparatus using the same, in which the method includes (a) heating a fixing portion where the optical fiber is to be fixed to an object, and (b) forming a concavo-convex structure by melting the heated fixing portion. The optical fiber is fixed to the object by filling an adhesive or filler in a state in which the fixing portion having the concavo-convex structure is disposed in an insertion space formed in the object. The optical fiber and the object can be firmly fixed using the mechanical coupling structure by forming the concavo-convex portion in a part where the optical fiber is to be fixed, and slip can be prevented from occurring between the cladding and the covering jacket.
