Fusion Splicing

Fusion splicing is a technique used to join two optical fibers together. It involves precisely aligning the fibers and then using heat to melt their ends so they bond together seamlessly. This creates a strong, low-loss connection that allows light signals to pass through with minimal interruption. Fusion splicing is commonly used in telecommunications and internet networks to ensure reliable communication over long distances. The process requires specialized equipment and skilled technicians, as even a small misalignment can affect signal quality.
