ResumoWe have developed devices to perform thermal fusing of plastic optical fibers for use in the construction of sampling calorimeters with fiber optic readout. Our fusing devices are microprocessor controlled and are based on a “split mold” construction suitable for mass production of low loss fiber-to-fiber transitions. We also briefly describe our experience with the construction of large scale prototype calorimeters for CDF and SDC, where splice testing was performed as part of the calorimeter production.
