Lecture 6: Fiber Optic Splices and Couplers

This video, from the Laser and Fiber Optics Regional Center, is the sixth lecture in a series of seven on fiber optics. Narrated by Dr. Mo Hasanovic, Professor of Electronics Engineering Technology at Indian River State College, this lecture covers topics related to fiber optic splices and couplers. Upon completion of this lecture students will be able to:

• Identify the types of fiber optic mechanical and fusion splices. Outline the basic splicing techniques for each type if fiber optic splice.
• Discuss the types of fiber optic passive couplers.

Topics covered include: Fiber Optic Connections, Fiber Optic Splicing, Advantages of Splicers Over Connectors, Mechanical Splicing, Mechanical Splicing Alignment Mechanisms, Fusion Splicing, and more. The video runs 33:53 minutes in length and the other lectures in the series are available to view separately.
