Abstract: | Splicing between an optical fibre and a planar deposited silica waveguide was performed by using a CO2 laser as a heat source. The average splicing loss of 30 samples between a multimode graded-index fibre and a deposited silica waveguide was 0.18 dB. Reflection from the joining point disappeared by the fusion splicing. |
