摘要: A new method for core-axis alignment and precise splice-loss estimation single-mode optical fibers is presented. By using a differential interference contrast microscope, we can achieve with an offset below 0.3 microm, which results in butt-joint loss increase of 0.04 dB compared that obtained by conventional monitoring method. Furthermore, precision 0.05 attained low-loss region without index-matching liquid.
