Connecting BASIK optical output to a BOOSTIK input
The optical output fiber from a BASIK module connects directly to the optical
input of a BOOSTIK module using a threaded FC/APC connection.
Checking optical
connectors
Before connecting the optical output connectors of each Koheras module,
ensure to check the connector tips using a fiber microscope. Using the
microscope, check for any deformities, damage, residue or other contaminants at
the optical tip of the connector. Either clean the connector using a suitable
process or contact NKT Photonics support if replacement is necessary.
