The microprocessor controlled fusion splicer is used for mechanically
durable, low-loss fusing of optical fibers with long-term stability.
Fiber Diameters
Single-mode fibers, dispersion-shifted
single-mode fibers and multimode fibers with coating diameters of up to 900 um
can be fused. The splicer is designed for use with the standard 125 um outside
fiber diameter (without coating). If you need to splice fibers with other
diameters, please contact the manufacturer.
Automatic Fiber Positioning
Fiber positioning and the
fusion process run automatically. This assures uniform high quality results
independent of the operator. Two mutually independent processes for positioning
and automatic splice loss determination have been integrated into the splicer.
The time tested LID system (Local Injection and Detection) allows for accurate
core-to-core positioning of the fiber ends such that good splicing results can
even be achieved with singlemode fibers with eccentric cores. It also allows for
the measurement of splice loss at an operational wavelength of 1300 nm. If the
LID system cannot be used (e.g. with tight-buffered fibers), the completed
splice is analyzed with the L-PAS -video system (Lens Profile Alignment System),
and splice loss is indicated in dB as well.
