Abstract
The current growth of optical-fibre use in aerospace is leading to the development of means to facilitate installation and decrease labor cost. In this context, we propose a new device to connect fibres. The mechanical splice, called Optimend®, is suitable for harsh environment applications. The capacity and quality of this new shape memory alloy splicing device for installation and connection of optical fibres is demonstrated in this paper.
