A package fiber fusing configuration simulating the transverse fusion of fiber optics.

FiberFusing is a Python package designed for simulating the fiber fusing process. With this tool, users can define an initial fiber configuration and simulate the fusion process as a function of the fusion degree parameter.

As follows, an example of 3x3 fused fiber.

from FiberFusing import Geometry, DomainAlignment, BackGround
from FiberFusing.fiber import FiberLoader
from FiberFusing.profile import Profile, StructureType

air_background = BackGround(refractive_index=1.0)

profile = Profile()

profile.add_structure(
   structure_type=StructureType.CIRCULAR,
   number_of_fibers=3,
   fusion_degree=0.4,
   fiber_radius=62.5e-6
)

profile.refractive_index = 1.4444

fiber_loader = FiberLoader()
fibers = [
   fiber_loader.load_fiber('SMF28', clad_refractive_index=profile.refractive_index, position=core_position)
   for core_position in profile.cores
]

# Set up the geometry with the defined background, profile structure, and resolution
geometry = Geometry(
   x_bounds=DomainAlignment.CENTERING,
   y_bounds=DomainAlignment.CENTERING,
   resolution=350
)

# Add the fibers to the geometry
geometry.add_structure(air_background, profile, *fibers)

geometry.initialize()

# Plot the resulting geometry
geometry.plot()
