Title: Daniel E. Nolan and Fiber Optic Coupler Manufacturing
Introduction
Daniel E. Nolan is an inventor associated with Corning, New York, and Corning Incorporated. His patent concerns a method for making an overclad fiber optic coupler, a component used to combine or distribute optical signals.
Latest Patents
Nolan is named on 1 patent: “Method of Making Fiber Optic Coupler with Longitudinal Protrusions.” The invention describes a coupler preform made from a glass tube with a longitudinal aperture. Inwardly projecting protrusions along the aperture’s side walls create corner regions that hold optical fibers in position. The tube’s midregion is then collapsed around the fibers and stretched to reduce its diameter, while the protrusions help maintain the fibers’ relative positions.
Career Highlights
Nolan’s listed patent reflects work on the manufacturing design of fiber optic couplers. Its approach uses the geometry of the glass tube to position fibers during the collapsing and stretching process.
Collaborations
Gregory E. Williams is identified as Nolan’s coworker. The available information does not specify whether Williams collaborated on this patent.
Conclusion
Daniel E. Nolan’s patent documents a method for controlling fiber placement during the formation of an overclad fiber optic coupler, contributing to Corning Incorporated’s work in optical technology.
