Description
The FiBO® 200 Accessories from Promet Optics are designed to enhance the precision and functionality of FiBO interferometers, providing users with the tools necessary for accurate 3D endface measurements. These accessories are meticulously crafted to support various fiber optic components, ensuring that each measurement is conducted with the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
One of the standout components in this collection is the Fiber Ribbon Stage. This accessory is essential for the 3D endface measurement of cleaved ribbon fibers. It features a smoothly adjustable X-Y interface, allowing for precise positioning and alignment. The high-precision kinematic interface ensures that measurements are consistently accurate, making it an indispensable tool for professionals working with fiber optics. The Fiber Ribbon Stage is fully compatible with custom, application-specific Fiber Ribbon Holders, which are sold separately.
Another critical accessory is the Variable Angle Tilt Stage (VATS™). This component is designed to facilitate 3D endface measurement of angled ferrules, bare optical fibers, and other fiber optic components. Its gimbal tilt design allows for easy alignment, and the vernier degree scale, coupled with a magnifying lens, ensures that users can achieve precise angle measurements. The VATS™ is supported by FiBO® Code Software, enhancing its functionality and ease of use.
The Bare Fiber Chuck (BFC™) is another essential accessory for those working with bare optical fibers. Its machined aluminum and steel construction, along with an easy-to-load clam shell design, ensures that fibers are handled with care, preventing damage during loading. The BFC™ is compatible with the Variable Angle Tilt Stage for angled endface metrology, making it a versatile tool in the FiBO® 200 Accessories lineup.
Lastly, the Connector Adapter for the FiBO 200 is a patented solution that guarantees precise positioning within a fraction of a micron. This adapter is designed to engage both the ferrule and the body of the connector, ensuring proper keying orientation and enhancing the accuracy of measurements.
