FIBO 200

FIBO 250

FIBO 300

FiBO 200 Interferometer is an economical solution for complete and accurate fiber optic connector endface testing. High-resolution 3D surface metrology and automated defect detection are combined in one robust, compact system for quick and easy inspection on the production floor or in the field.

FiBO 250 Interferometer is a complete solution for accurate endface testing of all standard fiber optic connectors. High resolution 3D surface metrology and automated defect detection are combined in one compact and portable system for quick and easy inspection.
FiBO 300 is a versatile phase-shifting interferometer for the advanced analysis of fiber optic endface geometry of bare fibers and non-standard connectors. The variable optical zoom has three different magnifications for viewing most fiber diameters and a wide range of holders and accessories can be used to easily mount testing samples.

CLEAVE CHECK INTERFEROMETER

REFRACTIVE INDEX PROFILER

nPA-400

The nPA-400 Refractive Index Profiler uses a modified refracted near-field technique to analyze a fiber end-face to determine the full 2D refractive index distribution. The nPA-400 is the quick and easy way to get the Refractive Index data you need to verify your specialty fiber design and manufacturing processes.

  • Prepare and measure a fiber sample in under 2 minutes
  • Measure fibers up to 400 μm in diameter
  • Measure 2D in seconds – no time consuming data reconstruction
  • Measure non-circularly symmetric fibers – good for PM, octagonal, multicore
  • Traceable calibration

MODAL EXPLORER ENCIRCLED FLUX MEASUREMENT
MPX-1  •  MPX-2

The MPX Modal Explorer is the Encircled Flux meter of choice for leading companies around the world. Simply connect your source and patchcord to the MPX, and it will measure Modal Launch Conditions in real-time.

  • End face inspection mode with focus indicator to give better repeatability from operator to operator

  • Power monitor – optimize light throughput and modal conditions simultaneously

  • Real-time measurement – adjust modal conditions easily as well as increase productivity

  • Internal LED with fully filled launch condition

  • USB2.0 connection gives portability – with the optional carrying case plus a laptop computer

  • Optional geometrical calibration artifact to enable user calibration of MPX

  • API software control feature designed for use in the production environment

 

FIBER GEOMETRY MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
FGC-GT • FGC-GS • FGC-GA

The FGC range is the complete solution for measuring the dimensions of standard and specialty fiber in both production and R&D environments. FGC-GT – fiber glass geometry for fibers up to 400 µm diameter.
Measures the widest range of fiber sizes and type
Single unit solution means less bench space, reduced training
Standards compliant
Calibrated to international standards, ensuring confidence in its accuracy
Production ready
Reliable, repeatable, operator-independent results in seconds

MODCON MODE CONTROLLER

The ModCon Mode Controller is designed to ensure that whatever source you use to test the loss and bandwidth of your multimode optical fiber network, LED, Laser, OTDR or white light, you launch the same distribution of modes into the fiber. As a result you can eliminate the variations due to the widely different modal characteristics of the sources commonly used in fiber optic measurements and networks.
• Improve measurement accuracy
Ensure stable launch conditions for multimode fiber measurements
Meet EF requirements of IEC 61280-4-1.

OCT PHANTOM

The APL-OP01 OCT phantom is a device to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize the performance of an OCT system, including spatially varying resolution, sensitivity, distortion and scan linearity. The phantom contains four geometrical patterns inscribed within a substrate to form localized refractive index changes.
The 4 test patterns are from left to right:

• Point Spread Function
• Sensitivity
• Lateral resolution
• Distortion

Each of the 4 patterns has different features but they all contain 8 layers.
In each pattern, the first layer is located 100µm below the surface of the substrate and the separation between each subsequent layer is 75 µm.
So the bottom layer is 625 µm from the top surface of the substrate.

VISUAL FAULT FINDER• 300

Model F6230A is a compact, pencil-style Visual Fault Locator (VFL) that features a 2.5mm universal connector for ST, FC and SC connectors. An adapter is available for use with LC connectors. Operation on a single 1.5V AA alkaline battery keeps the overall size and weight to a minimum while providing a long battery life.
