Sep 2017SOLIHULL, England, Sept. 19, 2017 — The FGC-G range of high-speed inspection systems from Arden Photonics Ltd. measures optical fiber geometry and delivers repeatable, operator-independent results in <10 s.

The comprehensive measurement capability for end-face geometries includes core diameter, core noncircularity, cladding diameter, cladding noncircularity and core-to-cladding concentricity. Designed for both specialty and telecoms fibers, the units have the latest software that makes it possible to measure even multicore fibers automatically. The FGC-GS can measure fibers up to 1 mm in diameter. It is optimized for specialty fibers such as octagonal and dual-cladding types.

Two models are available, which are able to measure up to 400 µm with the FGC-GT optimized for 125-µm diameter fibers. Typical applications include the development and manufacture of single and multimode telecom fibers, with specialty fibers also able to be measured.More products
