NOVEL FEATURES
Because of the complexity of fiber optic connectors, Norland Products has spent
years developing an interferometric system that meets all the needs of our customers for
full quality control of fiber optic end face geometry parameters for ceramic and
metal connectors
. In unison with all the Novel Features that Norland has to offer, it can
be assured that measurement results are accurate, repeatable, and reproducible.
The Norland CC 6000 is a PLUG & PLAY USB INTERFEROMETER . This compact
interferometer attaches to a PC or laptop through a standard USB port and uses the
exclusive NCC software to control the interferometer and measure the connectors. No
custom boards, or complicated configurations are required. Simply install the software,
plug in the CC 6000 and run. Our user-friendly software allows anyone with minimal
experience to accurately measure the 3D end face geometry of a fiber optic connector.
The CC 6000 is designed for both the factory or the field to provide the crucial quality
information needed to assure the long-term performance of your fiber optic connectors.
A major advantage of the CC 6000 is NO MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS are
needed because the connector is held at a constant tilted angle for measurements. All
other systems require a mirror or the stage to be adjusted so that the connector is
perpendicular to the optical path. No mechanical adjustments are required with the CC
6000 because any small angle is suitable. This is the key to our analysis because when
the connector is at a small angle, the fringes cross the ferrule and the fiber. This tilted
phase provides all the information needed to measure the connector. After a simple
offset angle calibration procedure, our advanced algorithms accurately calculate the
spherical radius of curvature, spherical fiber height, and apex offset for the connector.
Norland Products offers a wide variety of mounts and calibration tools to meet
the varying needs of customers .
Locking V Groove Mounts
Norland’s patented Locking V groove mounts,
with their integral leaf spring design, provide the
greatest accuracy and longest wear of any mounting
system on the market today. There are two types of
Locking V groove mounts that are available - PC and
APC. PC mounts are available according to the
ferrule size of the connector, for example, a 2.5mm
mount is used for 2.50mm diameter ferrules such as FC, SC, and ST connectors. APC
mounts bring the polished angle to flat, in order for fringes to appear. APC mounts are
connector specific due to the varying “Key” geometries.
The locking V-groove mount attaches to the microscope using two thumbscrews for
quick, easy, and accurate placement of the mount to the interferometer. To insert the
connector into the mount, lift the spring lever up to unlock the mount, insert the connector
into the mount until it bottoms out, and then lower the lever to lock the connector in place.
NOTE: Custom designed mounts are available upon request.
Norland Products offers calibration tools to provide the customer with the
assurance that the system is performing to the extremely high accuracy which is
expected of it
.
