Attenuation Splice Mode
This is a special mode to produce axial offsets during splicing in order to make
attenuators. Attenuation splice mode is selected when the following selections are
met; [Attenuation] on, [Unit Of Align Target] selected with [XY Alignment] in
[Edit Splice Mode] selected.
μm Mode
Select [μm] in [Unit Of Align Target] and enter the offset amount in [Align Target
(μm)]. Using the preset [Arc Power] and [Arc Time]. a series of shorter duration
arcs is used to help the fibers creep toward the fiber centers to the [Atten. Target
(μm)] during each arc. The splicer does not estimate the splice loss in this mode.
dB Mode
Select [dB] in [Unit Of Align Target] referring to the amount entered in [Align
Target (dB)] and [MFD] with core alignment. The splicer uses the preset [Arc
Power] and [Arc Time] to complete the splice.
In [dB Mode], the estimated splice loss is displayed on the screen. In some cases,
the correct value of estimated loss is not displayed because unidentified fibers
have been spliced together. Therefore, it is recommended that a power meter be
used to confirm the splice loss.
dBm Mode
Select [dBm] in [Unit Of Align Target] referring to the amount entered in [Align
Target (dBm)] with power meter feedback. The splicer produces the first-arc
discharge at the preset [Arc Power] and [Arc Time]. Next, short duration arcs are
enabled until the power meter value corresponds with the value of [Atten.Target
(dBm)]. The splicer then displays the power meter reading.
• [μm Mode] provides more stable performance than [dB Mode], but some
variation may inevitably occur. To decrease variations, set the [Cleave limit]
as low as possible.
• Attenuation splices made with [dB Mode] and [μm Mode] are not as
accurate as [dBm Mode] or power meter attenuation feedback splicing.
• If [θAlign] is made effective, it is also possible to make PM fiber
attenuators.
