Optical fiber fusion splicer types fusion splicing. Optical fiber fusion splicing springer series in optical. Fusion splicing welds fibers together in an electrical arc. Optical fibers are used most often as a means to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber and find wide usage in fiber optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths data rates than electrical. The goal is to fuse the two fibers together in such a way that light passing through the fibers is not scattered or reflected back by the splice, and so that the splice and the region surrounding it are almost as strong as the intact fiber.
The process of fusion splicing normally involves using localized heat to melt or fuse the ends of two optical fibers together. Furthermore, we released a core alignment fusion splicer capable of splicing single mode fibers that have large core offset with low splicing loss in 1985.
