Description
FiBO® 200 Accessories by Promet Optics offer a comprehensive solution for precise optical fiber measurement and analysis. Designed to enhance the capabilities of FiBO interferometers, these accessories ensure accurate and reliable results for various fiber optic components. Each accessory is crafted with precision engineering, utilizing high-quality materials to meet the demanding needs of optical fiber professionals.
The Fiber Ribbon Stage is an essential tool for 3D endface measurement of cleaved ribbon fibers. It features a smoothly adjustable X-Y interface, allowing for precise alignment and measurement. This stage is fully compatible with custom application-specific Fiber Ribbon Holders, providing a versatile solution for ribbon fiber analysis. The Fiber Ribbon Stage is supported by FiBO Code™ Software, ensuring seamless integration and operation.
For individual endface geometry measurement, the Fiber Ribbon Holder (FRH) is an indispensable accessory. Constructed from machined aluminum and steel, the FRH is custom-designed for each ribbon fiber configuration. It interfaces seamlessly with the Fiber Ribbon Stage, enabling accurate metrology of cleaved ribbon fiber endfaces. This holder is tailored to accommodate various ribbon widths and lengths, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fiber types.
The Variable Angle Tilt Stage (VATS™) is designed for 3D endface measurement of angled ferrules, bare optical fibers, and other fiber optic components. Its gimbal tilt design and vernier degree scale provide easy alignment and precise angle adjustments. The VATS™ is equipped with a quick-release mechanism and a high-precision kinematic interface, making it a reliable choice for complex optical measurements.
For bare optical fiber measurement, the Bare Fiber Chuck (BFC™) offers a robust solution. Its clam shell design and V-mount groove prevent fiber damage during loading, while the optional Loading Station assists with sample preparation and alignment. The BFC™ is compatible with the Variable Angle Tilt Stage, facilitating angled endface metrology. Available in various sizes, the BFC™ accommodates a wide range of stripped fiber diameters, ensuring versatility for different applications.
Finally, the Connector Adapter for the FiBO 200 ensures precise positioning with its patented high-precision kinematic interface. This adapter engages both the ferrule and the body of the connector, guaranteeing proper keying orientation and accurate measurement results.
