Optical fiber laser fusion splicer.

摘要

An optical fiber fusion splicer which includes means for supporting two optical fibers with their ends in an aligned facing relation along an axis, means for heating the two optical fibers uniformly around their circumferences at their facing ends, and means for controlling the power input to the means for heating so as to heat the optical fibers at their facing ends with the minimum power sufficient to fuse the facing ends. <IMAGE>
