Maintenance: Optical Cleaning
Before connecting any fiber to the Swept Source laser output, make sure the fiber is clean. A dirty fiber will lead to
poor output power, reducing the performance of the laser. Whenever using the Thorlabs OCM system, the
following rules of thumb for optical fiber connection should be followed.
1. ALWAYS inspect and clean the fiber end before plugging it into a receptacle.
2. ALWAYS cover the fiber end that is not in use with a fiber cap or dust protection cover.
