PURPOSE:To obtain a method for melt-sticking fibers with superior connection loss characteristics and tensile strength by arranging plural pairs of heating electrodes in the length direction of a fiber and melt-sticking single mode fibers. CONSTITUTION:Two pairs of opposing electrodes 21, 22 and 31, 32 are arranged in the length direction of fibers 20 and connected to an AC power source 5. A pair of fibers 20, 20 are heated and melt-stuck by generating arc discharge between these opposing electrodes 21, 22 and 31, 32. Thus, fibers with superior connection loss characteristics and tensile strength are obtained. |
