ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and a method for splicing optical waveguide fibers to achieve a splice with minimum attenuation wherein light providing an alignment signal is inserted through the cladding and into the core of a first end section, transmitted into the core of the second end section, and extracted from and monitored at the second end section, with splicing being accomplished after the ends have been moved to a position providing an intensity maximum in the extracted signal.
