Method and apparatus for fusion splicing optical fibers

We have discovered that the strength of arc fusion splices in optical fiber can be adversely affected by particles (e.g., SiO2 particles) from the electrodes. Disclosed is a method of arc fusion splicing that can substantially increase the probability that a given fiber splice will meet a given stre...
