ABSTRACT:
In a method for estimating a splice loss of a spliced portion of a fusion-spliced optical fiber, an amount of axial deviation attained prior to or immediately after heating a pair of optical fibers and an amount of axial deviation attained upon completion of heat treatment on the optical fibers are first detected to provide a difference between the axial deviations, and a splice loss originated from an opposite-phase core distortion is estimated based on the difference between the axial distortions.
