FPU II Window _ End Face Stripping Unit

Product information "FPU II Window _ End Face Stripping Unit"

Fiber Preparation Unit; Chemical-free; Strip Length 2-30 mm; Fiber Coating Diameter 80-1,000 µm; Fiber Type: Polyimide or Carbon Coated

3SAE Technologies’ FPU II Fiber Preparation Unit provides non-contact and chemical-free window or end face stripping of polyimide or carbon coated optical fibers in a small, affordable package.

The FPU II window or end face stripping unit features 3SAE Technologies’ patented “Ring of Fire®” technology which surrounds the fiber with a uniform heat in controlled ionic conditions. This patented low temperature arc plasma process will window or end face strip polyimide and carbon coated fibers quickly and cleanly without use of any mechanical blades, acid or any other chemicals.

The automated process provides consistent stripping results without requiring any special operator skills. The FPU II system is adaptable to your process and can accommodate fiber holders from the most common fusion splicer manufacturers. Strip lengths are adjustable and easily programmable.

Tough polyimide or carbon coatings are difficult to remove without severely degrading the fiber’s mechanical integrity. Other polyimide stripping technologies use mechanical blades or rapid thermal decomposition, which produces low tensile strength while leaving the fiber dirty. A more commonly used method, strong acid/alkali chemistry, is hazardous and produces toxic waste.

Utilizing 3SAE Technologies’ patented Ring of Fire® pulsed plasma etching technology, the FPU II window or end face stripping unit removes polyimide and carbon coatings safely and cleanly. The standard FPU II system accommodates a single fiber up to 1,000 μm diameter, with appropriate fixtures.

The FPU II’s control interface is accessed via the mounted LCD and keypad. This interface provides operational status updates and provides the operator with advanced control of plasma characteristics, temperature and positioning. The operator can quickly and easily recall and store parameters in any one of up to eight available recipe locations. This allows quick translations between fiber stripping programs.

MMS-003 Miniature Multimode Scramblers
MMS-003 Miniature Multimode Scramblers
Manufacturer: Luna

600-800 nm; IL ≤1 dB; Scrambling Frequency 725 ±5% kHz; Flatness <20%; Ripple <10%; RL ≤-50 dB The presence of speckle patterns from a multimode fiber can pose challenges in applications that demand consistent and steady light distributions at the fiber output. Addressing this issue, the MMS-003 stands out as a compact multimode scrambler, specifically engineered to introduce randomness to multimode speckle patterns at a rapid frequency exceeding 725 kHz. This device ensures that the light distribution at the output appears both uniform and stable, particularly when observed by cameras or detectors with averaging times exceeding 80 ms. Furthermore, the all-fiber optical path in the scrambler minimizes insertion loss. Key Features: Operation Wavelength: 600-800 nm Insertion Loss: ≤1 dB Scrambling Frequency: 725 ±5% kHz Flatness: <20% Ripple: <10% Return Loss: ≤-50 dB Applications: DNA Sequencing, Multimode Fiber Sensing, Optical Imaging, Test And Measurement Of Multimode Fiber Devices

NOA 63 Optical Adhesive 1oz bottle
NOA 63 Optical Adhesive 1oz bottle
Manufacturer: Norland

Refractive Index 1.56; 2000 cps Viscosity at 25°C Norland Optical Adhesive 63 ("NOA63") is a clear, colorless, liquid photopolymer that will cure when exposed to ultraviolet light. Since it is a one part system and 100% solids,it offers many advantages in bonding of optical elements where the bonding surface can be exposed to light. The use of NOA 63 eliminates premixing, drying or heat curingoperations common to other optical adhesive systems. Curing time is remarkably fast, and is dependent upon the thickness applied and the amount of ultraviolet light energy available.NOA 63 is recommended for the bonding of achromats, prisms and all other precision compound optics. The outstanding characteristics of the adhesive are its low fluorescence and its excellent transmission in the near UV range. After fullcure, the adhesive has good transmission from 320 to 3,000 nanometers.Typical Properties of NOA 63 Solids 100% Elongation at Failure 6% Modulus of Elasticity (psi) 240,000 Tensile Strength (psi) 5,000 Hardness - Shore D 90 Shelf life of the liquid is at least 6 months from the date of shipment if stored in a cool  (5-22° C), dark place in the original container. If refrigerated, allow the adhesive to come to room temperature prior to use.
