NEW - VFI-2000 End-face inspection for large diameter fibers

09 Feb 2016

The VFI-2000 is an interferometric system designed for checking the quality and flatness of large diameter fibers and rods, from 400-2000µm diameter.

The crisp end-face images show every defect and the high contrast fringe patterns make it easy to estimate end angles. The 5Mpixel camera in the VFI-2000 helps to show every detail and gives ample digital zoom capability, up to a diameter of 2000µm. The two modes of operation – inspect and fringe – allow users to check both the flatness and end quality of a cleaved or polished fiber end with just one insertion.

The VFI comes with an efficient software package containing controls to switch between fringe and inspect mode built in. It also allows users to grab and save images for later use. The report generator enables users to include up to 20 cleave images in one report along with comments. Other features include – intensity line profile, intensity histogram, auto-optimisation of intensity, end angle estimation, radius of curvature estimation, psuedo-color rendering and review of stored images.
