Factory splicing of optical waveguide

$15.00

Arc fusion splicing of optical waveguide fiber, a method to provide stable low-loss interconnection of multimode fiber in field instal- lations is evaluated. The technique of matching the fibers as closely as possible in numerical aperture and core diameter, to consistently produce spliced fiber lengths meeting the 0.2DB attentuation specification is demonstrated.
