This Engineering and Laboratory Note describes a simple, fast, cost-effective, and practical splicing technique for poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA) plastic optical fibers. We believe this technique can be useful for home networks, laboratory research, and educational uses. It employs a widely available, low-cost transparent adhesive combined with a suitable alignment sleeve. The fiber tips did not need to be cleaned or polished, and the polyethylene jacket did not need to be removed. The alignment between the cleaved fibers was performed by means of the jacket. Low insertion losses were measured for the main PMMA-based fiber types.
本工程与实验室笔记介绍了一种用于聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯（PMMA）塑料光纤的简单、快速、经济高效且实用的拼接技术。我们认为该技术可用于家庭网络、实验室研究和教育用途。它采用一种广泛可得的低成本透明粘合剂，并结合合适的对准套管。光纤末端无需清洁或抛光，聚乙烯护套也无需去除。通过护套实现切割后的光纤之间的对准。对主要的基于PMMA的光纤类型测量到了较低的插入损耗。
