Working with soft-glass fibers such as ZBLAN fibers, it is required to have precise control of the thermal splicing conditions. This paper extensively investigates the splicing thermal conditions using the Vytran GPX-3400 system to achieve controllable and low-loss thermal splicing between ZBLAN to ZBLAN and ZBLAN to silica fibers. The temperature information in the filament was monitored using a silica FBG sensor by adjusting the Power, the splicing duration, and airflow of the Argon gas, and the calibration curves were extracted.
