Abstract:
The optical fiber fusion splice structure has a fusion splice portion at which the bare fibers exposed from the coverings are connected to each other by fusion splicing, a fiber accommodation portion having a fiber accommodation groove formed along an axis of the optical fibers, and fixation resins for fixing a portion of the coverings on both sides of the fusion splice portion within the fiber accommodation groove. The fiber accommodation groove receives a portion of the optical fibers including the fusion splice portion. The fixation resins are formed so as to fill the fiber accommodation groove in a depth direction. A pipe member that allows an infrared ray to pass therethrough is attached around the fiber accommodation portion so as to surround a space between the fixation resins on both sides of the fusion splice portion within the fiber accommodation groove.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical fiber fusion splice structure in which at least two optical fibers having a bare fiber and a covering that covers the bare fiber are connected to each other by fusion splicing, the optical fiber fusion splice structure comprising:\n a fusion splice portion at which the bare fibers exposed from the coverings are connected to each other by fusion splicing; a fiber accommodation portion having a fiber accommodation groove formed along an axis of the optical fibers, the fiber accommodation groove receiving a portion of the optical fibers including the fusion splice portion; fixation resins for fixing a portion of the coverings on both sides of the fusion splice portion within the fiber accommodation groove, the fixation resins being formed so as to fill the fiber accommodation groove in a depth direction; and a pipe member attached around the fiber accommodation portion so as to surround a space between the fixation resins on both sides of the fusion splice portion within the fiber accommodation groove, the pipe member allowing an infrared ray to pass therethrough.
