Abstract

Optical splicing is regarded as the optical “welding” to combine two or more optical fiber to perform specific functions in modern optical telecommunication systems. In this paper, two crucial parameters in evaluating optical splicing; arc power and arc duration, are optimized for optical fiber splicing. Arc power of 32757 and arc duration of 12000 ms both yielded 0.01 dB splice loss while splicing 9/125 um FC optical fibers. Higher arc power and longer arc duration are found to yield lower splice loss. This paper has laid out optical fiber splicing optimizations and splicing strategies to be used for the development of improved and advanced optical communications applications.
