Recommended Apparatus to Improve Fibers’ Fusion-Splice Equipment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Fibers’ splicing is one of the essential and critical procedures for fiber optics and photonics devices, modules and networks. The purpose of this paper is to present a recommended apparatus which allows reducing the frequency to clean the electrodes of the fusion – splicer equipment when Corning’s erbium doped fibers are spliced together or to other type of all-silica fibers. Also, this recommended apparatus for the fusion-splicer equipment enables an improved consistency, reproducibility and repeatability of the optimized recipe which is developed for the fusion-splice of erbium doped fibers to other fibers as well as multiple all-silica based fiber combinations.

Guidance for OTDR Assessment of Fusion Spliced Single-mode Fibers
This Corning paper explains measurement behaviors of fusion spliced optical fibers and how glass properties and MFD (mode field diameter) differences across fiber splice junctions can lead to erroneous interpretations of splice loss when performing uni-directional OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer) tests. This paper explains how uni-directional OTDR test results yield misleading splice lo...
متن کاملArc-fusion Splicing Techniques for Holey Fibers
Recently, holey fibers (HFs) have attracted a lot of attention since the fibers can have properties that cannot be realized by traditional fibers with a corecladding structure 1). Applying HF to practical use requires the improvement of splice technique between HFs and between HF and a conventional single-mode fiber (C-SMF) in addition to the improvement in designing, manufacturing and measurem...

The essential requirements for establishing a low-loss and high-speed telecommunication line using optical fibers are high performance and quality splicing technology. The simple connection of optical fibers using optical connectors and mechanical splices is increasing. However, the fusion splice is needed for long-haul and high-capacity trunk communications such as submarine optical fiber cabl...
متن کاملLaser Induced Damage Reduction in Single-Mode Fiber Devices
We propose ihe use of tapered-up structures such as the fiber-horn lens and the straight-tip fiberhorn lens to be integrated in single-mode fiber devices to raise the damage threshold for input power. The optical damage limit with the use of such structures in single mode fibers is studied in this work. It is observed that for these devices to be practical, special attention needs to be put in ...
متن کاملIS THAT SPLICE REALLY GOOD ENOUGH? IMPROVING FIBER OPTIC SPLICE LOSS MEASUREMENT NEMI Fiber Optic Splice Improvement Project Members: J. Meitzler, 3SAE; L.Wesson, Aurora; P. Arrowsmith and R. Suurmann, Celestica;
Initial results from a National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (NEMI) project, formed to improve the fiber optic fusion splicing process, are reported. The focus of this paper is ultra low loss splicing for telecommunications product assembly, with typical loss of <0.05 dB per splice for standard SMF-SMF. Various project participants using different equipment and procedures performed fibe...
