With increases in optical fiber cable density lately, the volume of cores in ribbon-type optical fibers has been progressively increased and ribbon-type optical fibers, for example 16-core or 24-core optical fibers, are already progressivelyput to practical use. As a way to collectively or perhaps one operation fusion-splice the cores such multi-core ribbon-type optical fibers by electric discharge, it is crucial to create the space relating to the electric discharge electrodes large.
However, in the above-described fusion-splicing technique, in the event the distance between the electric discharge electrodes is placed large, the guts element of the road to electric discharge generated between theelectric-discharge electrodes is attracted upward, inducing the path to be curved in to a bow shape. Therefore, it becomes an object from the present invention to provide optical fiber fusion splicer which can successfully fusion-splice together the final parts of optical fibers by electric discharge, whatever the distance relating to the electricdischarge electrodes.
When electric discharge is generated involving the opposed electric discharge electrodes, electrostatic attraction is generated relating to the road to electric discharge as well as the conductor electrode disposed for the lower side with respect for the predetermined axis which extends between the electric discharge electrodes, namely, for the one side with regards to the plane like the predetermined axis. This electrostatic attraction attracts the electrical discharge path towards the conductor electrode side. Thus, the center part of the electric discharge path is prevented frombeing attracted upward by ambient air convection whereupon the electrical discharge route to be curved in a bow-shape. Thus, the optical fiber fusion splicer in line with the present invention can do fusion-splicing the final parts of opticalfibers together successfully, regardless of distance between your electric discharge electrodes. This optical fiber fusion splicer is extremely effective, for instance, in the event that the location where the distance between the electric-discharge electrodes mustbe set large for collectively or perhaps in one operation fusion-splicing the respective cores of multi-core ribbon-type optical fibers. The electric-discharge path means road to electrons or ionized gases, etc. Due to electric dischargegenerated between the electric-discharge electrodes and it is caused by positive column, for example. Also, the electrostatic attraction is the term for coulomb attraction, or attraction generated according to Coulomb law, being effectively activebetween areas involved in opposite polarities by electrostatic induction.
Fiber Optic Fusion splicer based on the present invention can sometimes include at least one pair of the conductor electrodes, that happen to be opposed to each other within a direction substantially orthogonal to the predetermined axis. In this case, themeans for generating electrostatic attraction preferably includes capacitive elements the capacitances ones are variable, along with a first capacitance control section for periodically varying the capacitance of each and every with the capacitive elements, whereineach with the capacitive elements is associated with a respective among the conductor electrodes. Adopting this configuration can help you periodically oscillate the electric discharge path between one conductor electrode side and the otherconductor electrode side, while preventing the center portion of the electric-discharge path from being attracted upward. Namely, it might be possible to scan the electric-discharge path along the longitudinal direction of optical fibers.
Fiber Optic Fusion splicer now gets to be a must while properly joining two bare optical fiber together. Since splicing fiber optic cables together is a much more complex process than splicing metal wires, it really works alongside the fiber cleaver to meet the end need. Before while using fusion splicer, we should instead cut the fiber optic cable and take away every one of the fiber cable jacket, then use fiber optic cleaver to make the fiberglass end face ready, after finishing these work we could utilize the fiber fusion splicer to melt both the fiberglass together. This fusion splicer is a well performed automated fusion-splicing machine. The fusion splicer comes in two varieties, single fiber splicer and ribbon splicer or mass fusion splicer. Fiberstore comes with a range of fiber fusion splicers,like Fujikura FSM-60R Fusion Splicer.
