Abstract

During the fusion splicing Hollow Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (HC-PCF), the air-holes collapse easily due to the improper fusion duration time and optical power. To analyze the temperature characteristics of fusion splicing HC-PCF, a heating method by sinusoidal modulation CO2 laser has been proposed. In the sinusoidal modulation, the variation relationships among laser power, temperature difference and angular frequency are analyzed. The results show that the theoretical simulation is basically in accordance with the experimental data. Therefore, a low-loss fusion splicing can be achieved by modulating the CO2 laser frequency to avoid the air-holes collapse of HC-PCF. Further, the errors are also given.
