What is a fusion haircut?
Fusion Splicing is a term that comes from the communication industry of optical fibers. Refers to the process of connecting or cutting two optical fibers end-to-end. The threads are heated to the extent that the ends soften and fuse together, giving this process. Optical fiber communication rely on the transmission of light along the entire length of the cable from the optical fiber and its fiber. If the fusion haircut is incorrectly, it can prevent the transmission of light in the optical fiber to reduce the fiber usefulness or cause it to be unusable.
to prevent damage to sensitive optical fibers during the fusion trim process, when ending and assembly at the end and assembly of optical fibers. The fusion haircut process begins by strengthening optical fibers. Stripping concerns the removal of optical fiber protective coatings to ensure that the joint is not contaminated with these protective coatings.
After lowering the coating, the next step in the fusion of fiber fiber fusion is the next step. Pre -The optical fiber cleavage is to achieve perfectly flat ends that can be connected together. An optical fiber grafting should leave an end surface that is completely perpendicular to the fiber axis to ensure the right cut.
Two insulated and fission fibers are then checked when enlargement in fusion haircuts to ensure the quality of the fiber fiber ends and alignment. After aligning these optical fibers, they heat up and join together. In most cases, the heat source is used to cut the fusion with an electric arc, but lasers, gas flames and heated tungsten fibers also provide an adequate heat source for the fusion process.
After the fusion haircut process, optical fibers will require some form of protection. Options to protect the fusion haircut include repetition with chemical protective agent or the use of the Optick protectorfiber montage. Recoating is performed using a resin, which is cured by ultraviolet (UV) light, and this is usually the preferred method of protecting fusion buckles because it returns the thread to its preliminary state.
