The Fusion Splicing Process
Preparation
Preparation
Preparation
The process starts with carefully stripping the protective coatings to reveal the bare glass of the fiber ends, followed by meticulous cleaning to remove any contaminants. The fibers are then placed into a fusion splicer, which ensures precise alignment, crucial for perfectly matching the fiber cores.
Fusion
Preparation
Preparation
Once aligned, the splicer generates a small electric arc that melts the ends of the fibers, fusing them together. This creates a seamless connection with minimal optical loss.
Protection

Protection
After the splice is complete, the joint is protected with a splice protector to ensure durability and longevity. The spliced fiber is then tested to confirm its performance.
