Optical fibre geometry measurement system, from Arden Photonics
Created March 22, 2016 Technologies and Products
Arden Photonics has announced the introduction of its FGC range of optical fibre geometry measurement equipment. The FGC range provides high speed automated measurement of fibre end-face geometry, including core diameter, core non-circularity, cladding diameter, cladding non-circularity and core-to-cladding concentricity. Options are available for measuring large diameter fibres (up to 1mm diameter) and specialty fibres such as double-clad, non-circular (e.g. octagonal), multicore and PM fibres. Side-view coating options are also available.
Complete measurement takes under 20 seconds. Specially designed holders, fibre handling bench and traceable calibration ensure repeatability of < 0.05µm on core and cladding diameters.
