Rapid reinforcement for fusion mass-spliced fibers using low-power induction heating.
A rapid reinforcement method using low-power induction heating is developed. The reinforcement of a mass-spliced fiber ribbon unit comprising five graded-index multimode fibers was completed in 30 sec with good performance by supplying 30 W of electric power.
