    摘要: An optical fiber splicing method capable of fully reducing the splice loss at room temperature is provided. In the optical fiber splicing method in accordance with the present invention, respective end faces of optical fibers are fused together in a splicing step (S101). In a condition setting step (S102), a set value &agr;0 is set. Thereafter, a heating step (S103), a measuring step (S104), and a termination determining step (S105) are carried out repeatedly. In the heating step, a region including the fusion-spliced point is heated under a predetermined heating condition. In the measuring step, splice loss is measured. In the termination determining step, the splice loss &agr;n measured in the measuring step and the set value &agr;0 set in the condition setting step are compared with each other in terms of magnitude. If the splice loss &agr;n is not greater than the set value &agr;0, then it is determined that the alternation should be terminated, whereby the optical fiber connecting operation is terminated.

    摘要: In order to provide an improved process for the production of a glass preform for an optical fiber which includes substantially no bubble formation therein and also has a substantially uniform shape, the present invention provides a process for the production of a glass preform which is at least partially formed from silica. In particular, a body is formed on a rod by depositing fine glass particles thereon, preferably by the vapor phase reactions, and heating the body to vitrify under a reduced atmosphere or a vacuumed atmosphere so that the glass preform is produced. According to this process, the heating includes a first heating step of degassing the body at a first heating temperature, a second heating step of shrinking the body at a second heating temperature which is higher than the first heating temperature and which is lower than a third heating temperature, and a third heating step of vitrifying the shrunken body at the third temperature which corresponds to a vitrification temperature of the fine glass particles so as to produce the glass preform.
