Description
The FGC-P Fiber Coating Geometry System is a state-of-the-art solution designed to deliver precise measurements of optical fiber coating geometry. Engineered with a novel liquid cell design, this system is capable of accurately measuring thin fibers with coating diameters ranging from 100 µm to 260 µm. Its robust design ensures reliability and accuracy, making it an essential tool for professionals dealing with standard and specialty fibers.
This fully automated system is user-friendly and provides fast, direct measurements of critical fiber coating geometry parameters. The FGC-P system is capable of analyzing coating diameter, non-circularity, and coating-cladding concentricity with ease. The ability to rotate the fiber up to 36 different radial positions enhances the accuracy of measurements, particularly for coating concentricity and non-circularity. This feature ensures that the system is compliant with industry standards, specifically using the side-view reference test method as described in IEC-60793-1-21.
Manufactured by Arden Photonics Ltd, the FGC-P system is a compact and trustworthy solution for optical fiber professionals. Its sophisticated design and advanced technology make it a valuable addition to any laboratory or production environment where precision and reliability are paramount. With its capability to measure dual layer coatings, the FGC-P system is versatile and adaptable to various fiber types, including single-mode, multi-mode, and polarization-maintaining fibers.
