FUSION SPLICER HAVING ADDED OPTICAL FIBER INSPECTION FUNCTION

摘要

The present invention relates to an optical fiber fusion splicer and, more particularly, to a fusion splicer having an added optical fiber inspection function to which a power meter function is added in order to determine whether a connection is normal after optical fiber fusion splicing so that the processes of optical fiber fusion splicing and inspection of whether the fusion splicing is successful can be handled with one apparatus and not two as is done in the related art. The fusion splicer having the added optical fiber inspection function includes: an adapter which is connected to the input end of an optical fiber which is fused with the optical fiber fusion splicer in order to have a fusion splicing section for receiving an optical input from the output end of the optical fiber; and a control unit which is connected to the adapter so as to calculate the optical loss ratio of the input end of the optical fiber as compared to the optical signal strength of the output end of the optical fiber. Also, the fusion splicer having the added optical fiber inspection function can further include a monitor which is connected to the control unit to display the optical loss ratio. A set loss ratio according to the length between the input end and the output end of the optical fiber is stored in advance, and the control unit further has a function of determining an abnormal connection when the set loss ratio is exceeded and of determining a normal connection when the set loss ratio is not exceeded. The monitor is configured to display whether the connection is successful or has failed based on the determination of the control unit.
