    LAZERMaster and ARCMaster optical fiber splicers from Fujikura Europe (Chessington, England) now include a power stability feature to allow for stable laser output, enabling highly repeatable optical fiber terminal processes for splicing and high-precision glass shaping in medical applications such as optical coherence tomography (OCT). An integrated closed-loop feedback system and real-time measurement function are said to reduce splice loss and peak-to-peak taper ripple. The company's advanced splicing technology includes CO2 laser heating systems for cleaner splicing with no contamination, no electrodes for low maintenance costs, and little or no instability.
