  • Abstract
    We studied the fusion splice for multicore fiber (MCF), with seven cores arranged in a hexagonal array. The passive alignment based on the side observation of MCFs demonstrated the equivalent splice loss value compared to the active alignment. It is shown that cleave angle may affect fusion splice loss.
