Because the need of high speed data transmission is increasing day by day, fiber optic communication have played an important role. However, with increasing of the data transmission distance, the loss of the power is a series problem. To solve this problem, the power of the signal must be amplified in a fixed distance to keep the signal reality. In the optic amplified system, the pump laser is always a 980nm high-power laser. Because of the high aspect ratio of this laser, the quadrangular- pyramid-shaped fiber endface(QPSFE) lensed fiber is needed in order to increase the coupling efficiency.
There is no standard process to fabricate QPSFE now. The experiment method is as follow. The first procedure is to polish the flat-end fiber to become the QPSFE, then melt the fiber by electric arc, the QPSFE lensed fiber is formed finally. In the polishing step, the bare fiber polishing machine is used. But, the polished quantity is unavailable during polishing, so the yield of the well-polished fibers is poor, only 20%. In this research, the force sensing mechanism mounted in the polishing machine is proposed to measure the force between the fiber and the polish disk. By mounting the mechanism, there are several advantages, such as operating conveniently, increasing the polishing speed, and making the polished quantity available during polishing. Using this force sensing mechanism to develop a polish rule will improve the yield of the well-polished fibers.
The strain gauge method is used to design the force sensing mechanism. Using this mechanism and taking the force analysis of the fiber polishing will make the force information between the fiber and the polish disk available. By design the parameters of this mechanism advisably, it will reach the expected purpose in this research. A 0.5
