When cleave quality really matters . .

                        . . .  use the VF-20 fiber inspection system

The VF-20 is an interferometric inspection system specifically designed for testing optical fiber cleaves. The VF-20 will check the surface quality and flatness of your cleaved, polished or lensed fiber end at the flick of a switch.

Applications include:

• Cleaver manufacture or maintenance

• Component manufacture

• Fiber R&D - holey fiber, MEMs devices, etc.

• Non-contact - no damage to the fiber under test

• Inspection and interferometric modes

• Easy to use - load fibers using kinematic fiber holder

• Measure perpendicular and angled fiber ends

• Datasheet

• Go to gallery of examples of VF-20 interferograms
