Abstract
Precision Mechanical Splicing of Hollow Core Photonic Crystal Fiber (HC-PCF) with Single Mode Fiber (SMF) is a challenge due to different numerical aperture (NA), core diameter and mode field diameter (MFD) of these two fibers. Presently, controlled arc fusion splicing technique is used to permanently splice these two fibers but this technique leads to losses due to PCF air hole collapse making it unsuitable for gas sensing applications. The results of new technique for mechanical splicing of PCF and SMF fibers with gap adjustments and known defined optical power coupling, without PCF air hole collapse is presented in this paper and these results will be helpful in remote PCF gas sensor design.
