End-View observation system
The cleaved ends of the optical fiber are observed in the axial direction by a means of a
mirror that directs the fiber end image into the camera system. This allows precise
alignment and splicing of uniquely structured fibers, such as PM, multi-core,
non-circular (hexagonal, octagonal, etc.) or micro-structured “holey” fibers. This
system is available only in the FSM-100M+ and FSM-100P+ models.
(1)
Select the [Edit Splice Mode] → [θ Alignment] → [Alignment Method] then
[EV].
(2)
Press SET key, then fibers move forward and stop at certain position after
cleaning arc. When [EV] is selected, End view observation is performed for
theta alignment.
