Abstract
In a fusion splicing method and device for optical fibers, bare fibers (f) of ribbon optical fibers “F” to be spliced together are arranged, in opposite direction to each other, on a fiber setup stage ( ). An interval of a pair of the discharge electrode rods ( ) is optionally changed according to the fiber number of the bare fibers “f” of the ribbon optical fiber “F” so that all of the bare fibers “f” are set into a uniform temperature area in a discharge area, and an optimum fusion splicing process is performed according to the fiber number of the bare fibers “f”.
