Visual fault locator from Arden Photonics emphasizes ease of use
Arden Photonics says its new VFI-1200 interferometric inspection system is specifically designed for checking the end-face quality and flatness of cleaved, polished, or lensed fibers with diameters of 125 µm to 1200 µm.
Thanks to a 5M pixel camera with a x6 digital zoom, the VFI-1200 displays crisp end-face images; high contrast fringe patterns make it easy to estimate end angles, Arden asserts.
The VFI-1200’s software package enables users to grab, save, and print images for recording QA data and produce reports. Other software features include:
- intensity line profile
- intensity histogram
- auto-optimization of intensity
- end angle estimation
- pseudo-color rendering
- review stored images.
