Splicing is the process to connect fiber ends of a fiber optic cables. With single-mode glass fibers, the core diameter of the actual glass fiber is 9µm, which is smaller than a human hair.

First you will receive a short general introduction of how a splice works, what is important and what else happens around it. Then you can try fiber optic splicing yourself. We will also measure the splice's performance using a bit error rate tester (BERT). You don't have to sign up, just come by. You should have a basic interest in the topic, a little patience and a steady hand.

Further time slots will be added shortly!
