NYFORS releases improved interferometer
Press information 19 February 2010
Nyfors Teknologi AB releases improved interferometer for the inspection of standard and large diameter fibers
Nyfors introduces an improved cleave meter, the CleaveMeter MP1™, that simplifies and increases the precision in end face inspection of optical fiber with cladding diameters from 125 to 1200 µm. Thus enabling quick and easy sampling tests and continuous documentation.
Based on the proven technology from previous NYFORS cleave meters, this non-contact (Michelson) interferometer introduces several improved features which enhance the precision and simplify the process of fiber end face examination, thus making this cleave meter the ideal instrument for cleaver inspection and optimization.
The CleaveMeter MP1™ gives immediate and accurate information about important end face properties such as flatness, perpendicularity, hackles and dust. In addition, the software has several other new features, such as automatic cleaving angle measurement, user defined markers at points of interest, pseudo-color mode for better contrast and in-picture measurement results. By means of the host application, the user can view the live camera image, adjust camera settings, save and load images to/from file, and log all information in a specific text-based log file.
The optical system is based on a high-end CMOS camera with 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 1024) true resolution and very high sensitivity, yielding excellent image quality at high frame rates and high magnification.
The mechanical design is compatible with all NYFORS automatic fiber cleavers, and accepts the fiber holders used in those machines. For other types of holders, custom-made adaptors are available upon request. The CleaveMeter MP1™ is delivered in a small bench top design.
