Abstract

In order to realize low loss fusion splicing between photonic crystal fiber(PCFs)and conventional fibers,after optimizing the splicer parameters and gradually decreasing the air hole collapse of PCFs,the main source of fusion splicing loss between PCFs and conventional fibers and rules of choosing parameters of arc fusion splicer were discussed in detail.Then some experiments splicing PCFs and conventional fibers were carried out with matched and mismatched mode field diameters,and very low loss(less than 0.2dB and 0.3dB respectively)was obtained.In conclusion,low loss splicing can be achieved by optimizing the splicer parameters for matched mode field diameters,however for much mismatched mode field diameters,low splicing loss can be obtained through controlling air hole collapse of PCFs.
