Systems and methods for reducing splice loss in optical fibers |
摘要 |
Techniques are described for reducing splice loss between a pair of optical fibers. A first fiber is spliced to a second fiber at a splice point. A region of the spliced fibers, including the splice point, is thermally treated to cause a controlled diffusion of dopants in the region. A controlled tension is then applied to the splice region while heating it to a predetermined temperature to produce a controlled change in the splice region's strain state. Further described is a heat and tension station for performing a heat and tension technique on a pair of spliced fibers.
