Note: A vertical line sometimes appears at the splice point when MM fibers, or dissimilar fibers (different diameters) are spliced. This does not affect splice quality, such as splice loss or tensile strength.

Arc Power Calibration Refer to [Arc Calibration] (Page 42). 1-2. Cleaning V -grooves If contaminants are present in the V -grooves, proper clamping may not occur, resulting in higher splice loss. The V -grooves […]
Arc Fusion Splicing of Photonic Crystal Fibres
Arc fusion splicing is an established method for joining optical fibres in communication networks, ensuring splice loss down to 0.05 dB and excellent reliability. Telecom fibres are covered by IEC 60793 and ITU-T G.651.1-G.657 standards, with common material (fused silica) and cladding size (125 μm). Splicing equipment for these fibres is widely available. Fusion splicing […]
