What is optical fiber fusion splicing?

Optical fiber fusion splicing is a welded joint formed between two optical fibers. It is a permanent, low-loss, high-strength joint compared with other temporary joint such as a mechanical splice. Optical fiber fusion splices play a crucial role in the optical network.

The Ideal Fusion Splicing Process

The goal is to create a joint with minimum insertion loss yet with mechanical strength and long-term reliability that matches the fiber itself.

The ideal process should be fast, inexpensive and should not require expensive equipment. But in reality the process needs trade-offs among different applications and requirements. For example, for undersea telecommunications, long-term reliability is the most important goal for a fusion splicing.

As far as I can tell, today’s PC user falls into two camps; the savvy user and the non-savvy user. Whereas the savvy user might browse the internet with the Firefox browser and search using Google, the non-savvy would browse the net with the Internet Explorer browser and Live Search.

The savvy user would detect a virus in an email a mile off, whereas the non-savvy would naively open it. The savvy user is very familiar with all the latest buzzwords; the non-savvy is confused by the same technical terms. The savvy user stores their total music collection on their PC; the non-savvy uses a completely separate stereo player.
