Modeling the Splice Loss of Single-Mode Optical Fibers Affected by Altitude

Splicing loss of optical fibers has always been the focus of attention in engineering. With the construction of communication networks in high altitude areas, more attention has been paid to the fusion of optical fibers in high altitude areas. A mathematical model of single-mode optical fibers splic...
