Optical fiber fusion splicer and optical fiber fusion splicing apparatus provided with same

摘要

An optical fiber fusion splicer includes: a pair of right and left V-grooved stands having V-grooves for butting tips of a pair of optical fibers each other while positioning the tips of a pair of optical fibers; a pair of elastic members respectively supporting the pair of V-grooved stands and formed into the form of an elastically deformable plate; a fixed base on which the pair of elastic members is mounted, whereby the pair of V-grooved stands is fixed thereto through the pair of elastic members, and which is long in a right-left direction; and a pair of micrometers aligning the tips of the pair of optical fibers by finely moving the pair of V-grooved stands with respect to each other while elastically deforming the pair of elastic members by pressing the pair of V-grooved stands from forward and backward directions.
