Splice Before Fiber Shaping
The FSM-100 series splicers have three operating modes, [Basic] splicing mode, [Full]
splicing mode (with many more parameters and capabilities than [Basic] splicing
mode), and [Fiber Shaping] mode. The operating mode is selectable for any
programmable splice mode in the [Edit Splice Mode] menu.
Normally the [Fiber Shaping] mode has been used for shaping a single fiber, such as
creating a ball lens on the end of a fiber. For more complicated operations that first
involve performing a splice between and left and right fiber, followed by a fiber
shaping operation, the [Full] splicing mode can be used. For example, and coreless
fiber can initially be spliced to a single mode fiber, and then the splice point can be
moved to one side so that a second arc can be used to cut off most of the coreless fiber
and generate a ball lens with the remaining section of coreless fiber. This results in a
pure silica glass ball lens on the end of a single mode fiber. However, performing this
operation using the [Full] splicing mode may cause many problems due to error
messages when the splicer inspects the splice quality for splice loss and defects, and
this also results in a slower process.
These problems are avoided by using the [Fiber Shaping] mode to perform all
operations. If a splice must be performed prior to the fiber shaping operation, First
setup a splice mode by selecting [Fiber Shaping] as the [Operating Mode] in the
[Fundamental Settings] of the [Splice Mode Edit] menu. Next, select [Yes] for the
[Splice Before Shaping] parameter. The [Splice Before Shaping] parameter is also in
[Fundamental Settings] of the [Splice Mode Edit] menu, but the [Splice Before
Shaping] parameter only appears after [Fiber Shaping] has been selected as the
[Operating Mode].
Select [Yes] for [Splice Before Shaping]
