Abstract

Heat transfer is very complicate in fusion splicing process of photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) due to different structures and sizes of air hole, which requires different fusion splicing power and offsets of heat source. Based on the heat transfer characteristics, this paper focus on the optimal splicing offset splicing the single mode fiber and PCFs with a CO₂ laser irradiation. The theory and experiments both show that the research results can effectively calculate the optimal fusion splicing offset and guide the practical splicing between PCFs and SMFs.
