VF20 cleave check interferometer
The VF20 is an interferometric inspection system specifically designed for testing optical fiber cleaves. The VF20 will check the surface quality and flatness of your cleaved, polished or lensed fiber end at the flick of a switch.
The VF20 is aimed at optical component makers, cleaver manufacturers and repair houses, R & D facilities and others who need guaranteed fiber end quality in order to improve the performance and consistency of their products.
Based on the Michelson interferometer, the VF20 benefits from a long working distance, thus eliminating the risk of damage to the fiber end. The user can select either an inspection mode, to view the quality of the fiber end, or an interferometric mode, to characterize the surface flatness.
The VF20 is able to measure the quality of both perpendicular and angled fiber ends using removable precision fiber holders.
Applications
- Cleaver manufacture or maintenance
- Laser manufacture
- Fiber R&D - holey fiber, MEMs devices, etc.
Features and benefits
- Non-contact - no damage to the fiber under test
- Inspection and interferometric modes
- Easy to use - load fibers using kinematic fiber holder
- Measure perpendicular and angled fiber ends
