APPARATUS FOR SPLICING OF OPTICAL WAVEGUIDES
First Claim
1. An apparatus for splicing of optical waveguides, comprising:
- a control signal generating device for producing a control signal;
a control device for providing a nominal level for the control signal;
a heating device for producing heat for heating the optical waveguides, with the heating device being controlled by a level of the control signal which is dependent on the nominal level for the control signal and the heating device being designed such that a heating power of the heat is produced as a function of the level of the control signal; and
wherein, the control device detecting any discrepancy between the nominal level for the control signal and the level of the control signal, and the control device changing the nominal level for the control signal as a function of the discrepancy found.

Abstract
An apparatus for splicing of optical waveguides including a control signal generating device for producing a control signal, a control device for providing a nominal level for the control signal, and a heating device for producing heat for heating the optical waveguides. The heating device being controlled by a level of the control signal which is dependent on the nominal level for the control signal and the heating device being designed such that a heating power of the heat is produced as a function of the level of the control signal. The control device detects any discrepancy between the nominal level for the control signal and the level of the control signal, and the control device changes the nominal level for the control signal as a function of the discrepancy found, thereby adapting the control signal as the electrodes are used.
