Abstract
An arc discharge model of fiber splicing is proposed to improve the splicing quality of Polarization Maintaining (PM) fiber. The mathematic form of arc discharge function of fiber splicer and the movement control method of spliced fibers are proposed. A series of indexes, including the splicing loss, the extinction ratio, the maximum tensile strength, and the Weibull distribution based reliability index, are proposed to evaluate the splicing effect. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used to evaluate the integrated splicing quality of a kind of Interferometric Fiber Optic Gyroscope (IFOG). Many experiment results have shown the validity of proposed techniques..
