A method for obtaining low-loss splices of multimode optical fibers has been devised that uses no adhesives, mechanical clamps, or adjustable alignment tools. Simultaneous splices were made of three-fiber as well as single-fiber pairs. The coupling efficiency was over 95 percent for single-fiber pairs and 93 percent for three-fiber pairs. The strength of the joint was two-thirds the breaking strength of the fibers.
