Polarization-Maintaining (PM) / Multicore / Photonic-Crystal Fiber Fusion Splicer

The TUNE PM 500 Splicer is an innovative device designed for fusion splicing polarization-maintaining (PM) fibers. It enhances traditional fusion splicing by incorporating manual rotary fiber holders and specialized software, enabling precise manual alignment of PM fiber axes while automating core alignment. This combination ensures low-loss, high-strength splices. Operators can manually rotate the fiber holders to align the PM axes by visually matching stress patterns displayed on the device, allowing for splicing at various angular offsets, such as 90 or 45 degrees. Once aligned, the splicer automates the fusion process with a single button press.
