3D endface testing is a critical procedure to ensure the performance of optical fiber connectors. During fiber patch cord production, manufacturers use 3D interferometers to inspect connector endfaces and strictly control dimensional parameters. In the production and functioning of fiber optic cable components, 3D interferometer, as the instrument to perform optical interferometry, plays an important role to. Thorlabs' GL16 End Face Interferometer measures and images the end face geometry of single- and multi-fiber connectors. A non-contact technique called scanning white-light interferometry (SWLI) provides high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability for fiber connector testing, particularly for. Autofocus system is optimized for fast and easy pass/fail testing of all standard fiber optic connectors and termini. Three optical magnification settings and a range of advanced accessories allow for maximum flexibility for non-standard and large diameter fiber testing applications.
