      加热方法优势劣势
      电极放电无需气体电极老化后会在光纤表层沉积污染物
      石墨丝加热无需高压

      1.石墨丝老化后极易污染光纤表面

      2.频繁更换石墨丝

      3.惰性气体防止过快氧化

      CO2激光器最清洁的热源,不会在光纤表层镀上金属氧化物要考虑激光器安全防护

      切割刀类型拉切式压切式
      切割原理利用金刚石刀片在光纤表面划出印痕,并采用拉光纤(应用磁力、弹力或其他外力)的方式将光纤拉断,得到平整且垂直于中轴线的端面利用金刚石刀片在光纤表面划出印痕,并将光纤压断,得到平整且垂直于轴线的端面
      切割方法拉切时,光纤在一定拉力下,刀片垂直光纤切割压切时,存在光纤微弯曲,切割光纤端面角度较大
      切割角度≤0.5°0.5°~1.5°
