Fast, Reliable and Portable Low-loss Antiresonant Hollow-core Fiber Fusion Splicing

Using a fully automated rotational alignment algorithm and a portable 3-electrode arc-discharging fusion splicer, we achieve median splice losses of 0.13 dB between antiresonant hollow-core fibers within 120 seconds with 100% success rate.
