Abstract
A splicer and a method for fusion-splicing optical fibers are provided, in which the disconnection of a fusion spliced portion of optical fibers can be prevented when the windbreak cover is opened upon fusion splicing. A method for fusion-splicing optical fibers includes: holding optical fibers on optical fiber holders which are arranged on a pair of movable stages, respectively and covering the holders with a windbreak cover; and butting the optical fibers each other by bringing the pair of movable stages mutually closer; fusion-splicing the butted optical fibers together; and loosening, before opening the windbreak cover, the tension applied to optical fibers between the fiber holding parts and positions at which the windbreak cover contacts with the optical fibers.
