FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What kind of fibers are using to achieve low coupling loss? And how does the fiber compare to standard SMF in terms of softening temperature?

We do not have detailed instructions on the technology of splicing fibers with core of germanate glass with standard silica fibers of the SMF-28 type. By means of trial and error method you have to achieve loss values in the range 0.3-0.8 dB (most of the users of these fibers did it). Maybe you can find some general ideas in papers by Huang (Opt Eng) and Aydin (Opt Exp).
