Description
FiBO® 200 Accessories by Promet Optics are designed to enhance the precision and versatility of fiber optic measurements. These accessories are crafted to seamlessly integrate with FiBO interferometers, providing users with the ability to conduct detailed 3D endface measurements. The accessories are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of fiber optic professionals, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
The Fiber Ribbon Stage is a pivotal component for those working with cleaved ribbon fibers. It allows for precise 3D endface measurement, offering a smoothly adjustable X-Y interface. This stage is fully compatible with custom application-specific Fiber Ribbon Holders, making it an essential tool for specialized fiber configurations. The Fiber Ribbon Holder itself is meticulously designed from machined aluminum and steel, ensuring durability and precision for individual endface geometry measurements.
For applications requiring angled measurements, the Variable Angle Tilt Stage (VATS™) is indispensable. It facilitates 3D endface measurement of angled ferrules and bare optical fibers. The VATS™ features a gimbal tilt design, allowing for easy alignment and precise angle adjustments. Its high-precision kinematic interface ensures that every measurement is accurate and repeatable, making it a valuable addition to any fiber optic laboratory.
The Bare Fiber Chuck (BFC™) is designed to handle cleaved and polished bare optical fibers with care. Its clam shell design and V-mount groove prevent damage during loading, while the optional Loading Station aids in sample preparation and alignment. The BFC™ is available in various sizes to accommodate different fiber diameters, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of applications.
Finally, the Connector Adapter for the FiBO 200 utilizes a patented high-precision kinematic interface. This ensures that the adapter maintains positioning accuracy within a fraction of a micron, providing reliable and consistent results. The design engages both the ferrule and the body of the connector, ensuring proper keying orientation and enhancing measurement accuracy.
