Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An optical terminal structure includes a single mode optical fiber having a short length, and a cylindrical member in which the single mode optical fiber is fixed. The cylindrical member is coaxial with the core of the single mode optical fiber. The cylindrical member has at each end a facet that is polished to a mirror finish. The core and a clad of the single mode optical fiber have refractive indexes such that the normalized frequency in the operation of the single mode optical fiber becomes at most 2.405 as a value converted at a wavelength in use of 1.28 µm. The wavelength in use is preferably in the range of 1.29 to 1.33 µm.

Why it's free to use
- Filed January 22, 1992 and granted May 5, 1998. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended January 22, 2012.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by January 22, 2014.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
