FGC Fiber Geometry Measurement
Arden Photonics Ltd.Request Info
The FGC-G Fiber Glass Geometry systems provide high-speed automated measurements of optical fiber end-face geometry including core diameter, core non-circularity, cladding diameter, cladding non-circularity and core-to-cladding concentricity. The FGC can measure the widest range of fiber types and diameters including PM, multicore, dual clad, octagonal fibers and more - up to 1000µm in diameter. Clear end face imaging along with our template system gives the ultimate flexibility in a commercial fiber geometry measurement system. The darkfield illumination system allows the software to show a clear live image of the end face of the fiber by illuminating the end face of the fiber and imaging the reflected light. This allows users to inspect the end face of the fiber whilst taking geometry measurements. The darkfield method of fiber geometry measurement is supported by both NPL in the UK and NIST in the USA.
The FGC comes with an efficient software package containing controls to switch between reflection and transmission mode. This allows users to quickly and easily get both core and cladding geometry measurements including diameter, non-circularity and concentricity. The software contains measurement templates for all standard telecoms fibers, however users can also create their own. This allows the measurement of many special fiber types including dual clad fiber, bend insensitive fiber, multicore fibers and many more. This production ready solution gives reliable, repeatable, operator independent results in seconds, and all in one unit to save on bench space and training.
