ABSTRACT:
A method of simultaneously splicing by fusion welding the splicing areas of each of successive adjacent pairs of optical waveguides, the welding being effected by generating an arc between a pair of welding electrodes having a width which overlaps all such splicing areas. A uniformly high quality splice of each pair is attained by establishing a magnetic field between the welding electrodes which interacts with the arc so as to cause it to reciprocate back and forth over the width of the welding electrodes a number of times determined by the number of pairs of waveguides to be spliced. The magnetic field and/or the welding current are controlled so that the average welding energy is the same at all splicing areas.
