Abstract
The fusion splicer includes a first holding unit, a second holding unit, a screen, a first measurement device, a first driving unit, a second driving unit, and a third driving unit. The screen has a light guide portion through which only test light emitted from one of the plurality of cores of the first optical fiber can pass. The screen is disposed between the end face of the first optical fiber and the end face of the second optical fiber. The first measurement device measures the intensity of leakage light leaking from the second optical fiber. The third driving unit adjusts the position of the screen such that the light guide portion is aligned with one of the plurality of cores of the first optical fiber in the axial direction of the first optical fiber.
