[pdf] A fusion splicer is a specialized device used to permanently join two optical fibers by melting their ends together, creating a seamless, low-loss connection. This process, known as fusion splicing, is critical for high-performance fiber optic networks in telecommunications, data centers, and. Fusion splicing is the process of fusing or welding two fibers together usually by an electric arc. Fusion splicing is the most widely used method of splicing as it provides for the lowest loss and least reflectance, as well as providing the strongest and most reliable joint between two fibers.
