The Nondestructive Inspection of the Ferrule for the Optical Connector by Resonant Ultransound Spectroscopy

공명초음파분광법에 의한 광컨넥터용 Ferrule의 비파괴검사

The Ferrule for the Optical Communication Connector is the product to set the optical ares of an optical fiber very precisely. Therefore, it is required high expectations such as high dimensional precision and new including flaws. Up to new the optical instrument has been used for the defeat and shape inspection of the ferrule, but in the paper we examined the detectable defeat and expectation by using Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy(RUS). The RUS is the measurement which is to excite specimen and to inspect the difference at natural frequency pattern between acceptable specimen and specimen which has some defeats. We analyzed the difference of natural frequency pattern in the experiment using Spectrum Analyzer. And we compared the results in the experiment with those in the simulation from the explicit finite elements code, Nastran.
