Detection of end face defects

Using a high magnification optical microscope, Dimension has a series of end face defect detection schemes, which can be divided into two types: by manually observing the image of the device end face, the quality, defects, scratches, or other issues of the end face can be observed. This is the simplest and most intuitive method, but it has certain limitations and is influenced by the operator's sense of responsibility and experience. Through intelligent analysis and the use of automated algorithms for image processing and analysis, it is possible to efficiently detect issues such as scratches or defects on device end faces. It can provide more accurate detection results, which is conducive to analyzing and controlling quality, unaffected by personnel operation factors, and saves time and cost of manual inspection.

There are two perspectives on application scenarios: in the production and manufacturing process, it is suitable for desktop applications, stable, reliable, and convenient; On site application, suitable for portability, easy to carry, easy to operate, with a variety of interface types available for various port types.

End face geometric inspection

Dimension has formed a series of products in the field of fiber optic end face geometric inspection.

 For several years, we have been focusing on the research and development of interferometer optical systems and structural design. Excellent optical systems can provide image clarity, making 3D image restoration more realistic and accurate, providing reliability for the stability and accuracy of data calculation. We have designed a brand new and robust seismic resistant system, which improves seismic performance and ensures data stability.

And continuously iterate new derivative products such as reliability testing insertion and return loss testing systems, multi-core polarity insertion and return loss testers, etc.

Optical power inspection and optical loss testing: Use a high-speed optical power meter or attenuator to detect the output power and attenuation of the device's end face. By comparing with theoretical or standard values, the quality of the end face can be evaluated to determine whether cleaning is necessary. The high-speed optical power meter series modules ensure both high-speed power output and meet the requirements of a large dynamic range at high speeds in terms of principle design and device selection.
