Abstract

A simple splice technique to fuse a SMF-28™ and a microstructured fibre using a conventional electric-arc splicer is presented. The technique consists in applying the electric arc in the SMF-28™ region. The fusion-loss dependence with arc duration for constant fusion power is also investigated. A splice loss of 0.25 dB is obtained with high reproducibility. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
