A method for splicing optical fibers includes securing a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber within an apparatus, stripping a coating from about the first optical fiber by a first laser beam generated from at least one laser, and stripping a coating from about the second optical fiber by the first laser beam. The method also includes cleaving an end of the first optical fiber via a second beam from the laser, and cleaving an end of the second optical fiber via the second laser beam. The method further includes splicing the ends of the optical fibers together via a third laser beam from the laser, thereby creating a fused connection between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber, and removing the first and second optical fibers from within the apparatus.
