![]() Solkraftsvägen 12 135 70 Stockholm Sweden | ![]() Nyfors offers high precision interferometers for checking the end face quality of cleaved optical fibers and for cleave process optimization. They show crisp and clear fringe patterns and come with software for advanced measurement functionality. Ideal for use in production settings and when working with difficult to cleave fibers in laboratory environments. Fiber holder adapters available for use with cleavers and splicers from the major splicer manufacturers. This facilitates easy transfer of the fiber from cleaver to interferometer and then onto the splicer with no need for reclamping. |
![]() Fraunhoferstr. 22 82152 Martinsried Germany | ![]() Particles contaminating the end face of optical fibers are typically only 2 to 20 µm in size, but substantially degrade the performance. Inspecting a fiber connection with a microscope that illuminates and magnifies the fiber tip is the only way to ensure that this connection is free of contamination and defects. Our extensive range of fiber optic microscopes for every application and budget provides intuitive and reliable inspection solutions for certification of new installations or troubleshooting of existing networks, avoiding subjective evaluations and estimates:
