In fusion splicing, a machine precisely aligns the two fiber ends and uses the heat generated by an electric arc to "fuse" or "weld" the glass ends together. This creates a continuous connection between the fibers, resulting in low-loss optical transmission. Another method of connecting optical fibers is termination or connectorization, which consists of processing the end of a fiber optic bundle so that it can be connected to other fibers or devices through fiber optic. In this blog post, we will discuss how these devices work and their various benefits.
