<p>A method of calibrating a fusion splicer, including: heating ends of a first and second fiber with an arc; measuring fiber end melt-back at a corner of the first fiber and a corner of the second fiber; increasing the heat of the arc and heating the ends of the first and second fibers with the arc; measuring fiber end melt-back at the corner of the first fiber and the corner of the second fiber; determining a slope of the fiber end melt-back; and based on said slope, setting a value to adjust the heat produced by the splicer.</p> |
