Problems solved by technology

[0010] When the ends of two fibers spliced ​​together are not perfectly perpendicular with respect to their surfaces, then imperfect splicing of the fibers will adversely affect the transmission performance of the spliced ​​fiber
[0011] In fibers with circular cross-section there is a problem of torsion caused by the second clamp

Abstract

The present invention is directed to a liquid metal clamp, and a clamp system and method including same. A clamp system includes a first clamp configured to hold a first portion of a set of fibers and a second clamp configured to hold a second portion of the set of fibers, the second clamp comprising a liquid metal that takes a liquid form at a first temperature for receipt of the second portion of the set of fibers and that takes a solid form at a second temperature to secure the second of the set of fibers. The set of fibers can be a single fiber or a plurality of fibers. The fiber or fibers can have a circular or non-circular cross section.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C § 119(e), this application claims that the application date is July 27, 2009, the application number is 61 / 228,814, and the name is "LIQUIDMETALCLAMPANDFIBERCLEAVINGUSINGSAME (liquid metal clamp and optical fiber cutting device using the liquid metal clamp) Priority of the U.S. Provisional Patent ", the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this application. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to the field of fiber optics, and more particularly to the field of systems and methods for manufacturing and processing optical fibers. Background technique [0004] In conventional fiber cleavers, a first portion of the fiber is mechanically clamped by a first clamp, and then a second portion of the fiber is mechanically clamped by a second clamp. Once both clamps have secured the fiber, one clamp is selectively disengaged (or removed) from the other until an...
