Abstract
The connection device for liquid-core optical fiber comprises a sleeve traversed by a channel comprising a plurality of communicating stacked conduits, a first conduit being formed from an end of the sleeve and being arranged to receive, in a sealed manner, at the corresponding end of the sleeve, one end of the optical fiber, and a second conduit being formed communicating with the first conduit, and closing means that hermetically seal the end of the second conduit opposite the end that communicates with the first conduit, the sleeve further having a third conduit for filling the internal volume of the second conduit when the latter is closed at one end by the closing device and the fiber is inserted into the first conduit, the third conduit transversely connecting the outside of the sleeve with the inside of the second conduit, and a sealing plug for hermetically sealing the port of the third conduit opening to the outside of the sleeve.
