Abstract
The present invention therefore provides a method of splicing optical fibers. First, a first optical fiber and a second optical fiber are provided, wherein a core diameter of the first optical fiber is smaller than a core diameter of the second optical fiber. After performing a hydrogen loading treatment for the first optical fiber; a thermal expansion core (TEC) treatment is performed for the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber to match the mode-field (MF) of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber at the fused section between the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber. The present invention further provides a spliced optical fiber, including a first optical fiber part, a second optical fiber part, and a fused section.
