Then an electric arc heats and melts the glass at the fiber end facets, and the two fiber ends are pushed together such that the molten glass fuses the two fibers.https://www.physik-astro.uni-bonn.de/fiberlab/en/media/fiber_splicer.jpg/viewhttps://www.physik-astro.uni-bonn.de/fiberlab/en/media/fiber_splicer.jpg/@@images/image-1200-a8dd34b0a7e5e80fded1be89e7a2ea1d.jpeg
