Abstract:
    There is disclosed a method of fusion splicing optical fibers comprising the steps of microscopically aligning the optical fibers (101, 102), and effecting the fusion splicing of the optical fibers by means of an arc discharge generated across a pair of discharge electrodes (421, 422) which supply the optical fibers with an arc having a smaller power than that applied to said joint for the fusion splicing of the optical fibers.
