Abstract: | A fusion splicing machine has been developed with an integrated fibre cutter and support for the splice case inset with splice magazine. The optical fibres and the electrodes can be manipulated, with the result that the splice losses are minimal and optical fibres with different melting points can be fused. Since the splices are not mechanically strong, tension relief facilities for the splice play an important part. |
