Sub-Critical Cleave Parameters
Re-Tension Level (g):
This parameter is the load, in grams, applied axially to the fiber after the post-scribe
pause. The optimal re-tension level is dependent upon the effective cross sectional area, material properties and
type of fiber as well as scribe size. Experimentation will be required to optimize the re-tension level but it will
typically be less than 50 grams.
Re-Tension Limit (%):
This parameter limits the additional tension, expressed as a percentage of cleave tension,
applied axially to the fiber after the post-scribe pause. The retension limit is typically set at 20%.
Post-Scribe Pause (seconds):
This parameter is the pause, in seconds, between the last blade oscillation and
the first re-tension. Typically, the post-scribe pause is set to 1 – 3 seconds. This is enough time for the scribe to
propagate and cleave the fiber if the scribe was too large.
Re-Tension Pause (seconds):
This parameter is the pause in seconds, between each retension. The optimal re-
tension pause is dependent upon the effective cross sectional area, material properties and type of fiber as well
as scribe size. Experimentation will be required to optimize the re-tension pause parameter.
6.1.2. GPX Cleaver View
The
GpxCleaverView
macro works very much like any other side-view process (i.e., the lens position must be
unique). When in the cleave view, the illumination LED and focus position is set by running additional processes.
Lens Motor Position (steps):
The position of the lens motor when in
Cleave View
.
Mirror Motor Position (steps):
The position of the mirror motor when in
Cleave View
.
Focus Motor Position (steps):
The position of the focus motor when in
Cleave View
. This value is updated with
the position of optimum focus whenever Cleave Focus is executed.
Furnace Motor Position (steps):
The position of the furnace motor (and hence, the Cleave Blade) when in
Cleave View
.
