Fiber Characterization System
Overview
The Luminos Bare Fiber Characterization System consist of the
Optical Rail System, the precision
V-Groove Fiber Holder and CORALIGN™
Positioners. This system allows light to be transmitted and collected
reliably and repeatably with secure knowledge of a low loss launch. This System
provides an excellent way to characterize specialty fibers.
The Characterization System is highly configurable, fibers of different length and
fiber mounts are easily accommodated. Various fiber mounts and custom rail
lengths are available and this system can be built with any of the Luminos CORALIGN™
manual or automated Positioners.
The
high
stiffness and stability of the
Positioners affords easy portability while making fine manual alignment
possible. The Luminos patented dual flexure system allow for manual alignment
of assemblies with mode fields as small as 1µm.
With positioning this easy... the possibilities are endless.
Featured Configuration
Shown are two I3000
3-Axis manual positioners
, one equipped with a
Ferrule version fiber holder and
Contact Sensor , the other with a top mount Connector Holder. The
V-Groove Fiber Holder introduces the bare fiber to the specialty
fiber held securely by the
Optical Rail while the
Ferruled Fiber Holder completes the chain. The two
I3000 Positioners
provide alignment control and the Luminos
Contact Sensing System indicates the zero gap position and displays contact
force levels.
