General Information

Fusion splicing is used to physically join together two optical fiber ends; the process may vary,depending on the type of fusion splicer used. The S148S Single-Fiber Fusion Splicer usesprecision, fixed V-grooves to align the fiber ends and heat from a controllable electric arc tomelt the glass and butt the ends together. This results in a strong joint, with very low loss andvery low backreflection.

To achieve good splicing results, it is essential to know both the proper use of a fusion splicerand the characteristics of optical fiber. Because not all fibers are identical, they can melt orfuse at different temperatures. Therefore, to minimize splice loss, it is important that the arcpower and the duration of the fusion arc be properly adjusted. The S148S fusion splicerfeatures an arc check function to help the user adjust these parameters. Other intrinsicfactors that contribute to the increase in splice loss are core diameter mismatch, claddingdiameter mismatch, numerical aperture mismatch, core concentricity and noncircularity.

Core Diameter Mismatch

Cladding Diameter Mismatch

Numerical Aperture Mismatch

Different fibers have different numerical apertures. The aperture dictates the acceptanceangle of light.

Optical fiber is basically classified as either single-mode (SM) or multimode (MM). Singlemode fiber, which includes dispersion-shifted fiber types, will transmit a single-mode (path) ofdata at wavelengths greater than the cut-off wavelength (1170 nm). Approximately 80% ofthe light is transmitted within the core, and 20% is transmitted in the surrounding cladding.Therefore, the transmission path is more accurately referred to as the mode field and not asthe core. With a core diameter of typically 8 IJm and a mode field diameter of approximately10 IJm, single-mode fiber can transmit more data than multimode fiber and with lessattenuation.

In multimode fiber, the optical signal is transmitted entirely within the core. These fibers havea core size of 50 IJmto 100 IJm (50 IJm or 62.5 IJm, typically) and are commonly used in localarea networks (LANs), short distance links and closed circuit television (CCTV).

Core Diameter/Axis offset

Because the optical signal is transmitted through the core of the fiber, it is important tounderstand how the cores of the two fibers being spliced together compare. The followinggeneral formula can be used to show the effects of core offset on the splice loss. The formulais only theoretical and does not take into account other extrinsic factors such as cleavequality and dust contamination, and intrinsic factors such as core noncircularity andnumerical aperture.

• A difference between A and B will cause a splice loss, even if d is zero. If using singlemode fiber, the manufacturer of the fiber may be able to provide mode field diameterspecifications.

It is impossible to have perfectly centered cores, because fiber manufacturing limitationsoften result in small offsets. Today's optical fibers are well manufactured and have coreeccentricity of less than 0.5 IJm. However, older fiber exhibits core eccentricity near 1.0 IJm.When using a fusion splicer such as the S148S that aligns the cladding correctly by means ofits fixed V-grooves, the offset of the fiber cores will range from zero to double the coreeccentricity.

A worst case scenario of 2 IJm core offset when splicing single-mode fiber with a 10 IJm modefield diameter will yield a splice loss of approximately 0.2 dB. A more typical offset of 0.5 IJmwill yield a splice loss of approximately 0.01 dB. Similarly, when splicing multimode fiber witha 62.5 IJm core diameter, the theoretical splice loss is 0.004 dB and 0.0003 dB for 2.0 IJmand 0.5 IJm core offset, respectively. This gives a clear indication of why multimode fibersplicing yields lower splice loss.

MaintenanceArc Check

Perform an arc check whenever high splice losses are obtained (see Performing an ArcCheck, Getting Started).

Electrode Maintenance

Inspect the electrodes for dirt, wear and damage before using the fusion splicer. Dust andother particles can be cleaned off by removing the electrodes from the splicing mechanismand carefully running a sharp blade along the surface of each electrode.

Replace the electrodes if anyone of the following conditions exist:

• an electrode is bent• an electrode end has become extremely rounded• abnormal noise occurs during fusion splicing

• Always replace both electrodes, even if only one electrode is damaged.

1. Loosen the screws of the electrode holding plates, and raise the plates.

2. Carefully remove the electrodes

3. Clean or discard the electrodes as necessary.

• When cleaning an electrode, grasp the electrode at its centre to prevent it from bendingand polish the tip with a knife sharpening block.

~-- grasp here

4. Install the new or cleaned electrodes, setting them against the electrode base to ensurecorrect spacing.

5. Tighten the holding plate screws uniformly. Do not tighten the screws excessively.

6. Lower the windshield, and press i at least five (5) times to burn off any residue remainingon the electrodes.
