TECHNIQUE FOR REDUCING FIBRE JOINT LOSS

摘要

A TECHNIQUE FOR REDUCING fIBRE JOINT LOSS A technique for reducing splice loss between similar or dissimilar optical fibres. Two fibres 10,11 are joined by fusion splicing and the joint region is tapered until the cladding assumes a guiding function. This produces a mode transformer which converts the fundamental mode of one fibre to that of the other with little or negligible loss.
