CMS Combiner Manufacturer System

Product information "CMS Combiner Manufacturer System"

Optical Fiber Splicing/Processing System; Heat Source <300->3,000 °C; Splicing of 125-2,000 µm Dia. Fibers; Automatic Bidirectional Tapering ≤175 mm Length; Semi-automatic Cleaving of Fibers ≤500 µm Dia.

3SAE Technologies’ CMS Combiner Manufacturing System is the supplier’s latest and most advanced optical fiber splicing/processing system. The CMS is specifically designed to maintain production level repeatability for multi-kilowatt class high-power fiber combiners and other fused optical components.

The CMS system operates in partial vacuum and is utilizing the unique “Thermally Stabilized Plasma™” technology which generates an extremely repeatable and stabilized heat source with a wide dynamic range of operation from <300 °C to >3000 °C. This makes the CMS ideal for repeatable glass processing and high-volume optical component manufacturing.

The main CMS functionalities are:
SPLICING

  • Splicing of 125 to 2000 µm fibers supported
  • Automatic alignment with an exclusive <50 nm X and Y fiber positional resolution
  • Automatic pitch and yaw alignment
  • End cap splicing for cylindrical, chamfered and tapered end caps

TAPERING

  • Taper lengths of up to 175 mm supported in bidirectional mode
  • Automatic taper creation via intuitive software interface or manual table editing
  • Exclusive "Table Based Tapering™" software included for easy user level single direction or bidirectional taper program creation and nearly infinite engineer level process control

CLEAVING

  • Semi-automatic in-situ cleaving of fibers up to 500 µm
  • Adjustable precision cleaving location via image feedback

Key Features:

  • Extremely Repeatable Glass Processing Heat Source Ideal for High-volume Optical Component Manufacturing With a Range of Operation From <300 °C to >3000 °C
  • Unsurpassed Heat Source Circumferential Thermal Uniformity for Symmetrical Ultra-low Loss Tapering and Reduced Thermally Induced Component Stress
  • Contamination-free Heat Source Capable of Producing Ultra-high-strength Multi-kilowatt Class Optical Components
  • Fastest Cycle Times Based on Standard Splice, Taper and Cleave Cycle Times Averaged Together
  • In-situ Cleaver Included for Fiber Diameters ≤500 µm

Applications: Splicing/Processing of Optical Fibers; Repeatable Glass Processing; High-volume Optical Component Manufacturing; Maintaining Production Level Repeatability for Multi-kilowatt Class High-power Fiber Combiners and Other Fused Optical Components

MFPR Precision Motorized Polarization Rotation Stages
Travel 360°; Bidirectional Repeatability 0.05°; Homing Repeatability 0.1°; Bidirectional Accuracy 0.4°; Typ. Encoder Resolution 143,360 counts/360°; Min. Incremental Motion 0.05°; Max. Total Load 50 g OZ Optics’ MFPR series of handy and cost-effective motorized rotators enable precise control of the polarization states of a single optical stage or multi-stage system with multiple optical paths. These rotators can be controlled and synchronized to perform precise rotations sequentially or in parallel using a single compact control unit. The control unit is incorporated along with a processor and touch screen in a palm-sized enclosure to control multiple motors via an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). Plug-and-play features are realized and enabled via a customizable GUI regardless of the system complexity for demanding applications. The input and output ports of a given stage can be fiber-connector receptacles, pinholes for free-space applications, or pigtailed with single mode, polarization maintaining or multimode fibers. The light beam is then directed through one or more rotators, where the polarization state (the electric field of the propagating wave) is manipulated via rotating waveplates, polarizer plates, polarizer prisms or polarization beam splitters with sub-degree resolution. High-power optics, connectorized fibers for wide ranges of operating wavelengths are available. The software and the associated GUI can be modified upon request.
