P104 Preform Analyzer
Compact, repeatable, thermally stable preform analysis
The P104 Preform Analyzer provides fast and repeatable measurement of
the critical characteristics of optical fiber preform index profiles. Like
the 2600 Preform Analyzer, measurements are automatic, reliable, and
require a minimum of operator skill. However, the P104 also possesses
unique capabilities that are highly beneficial for some specific preform
types and processes. The P104's dynamic aperture option greatly improves
the characterization of many finely structured preforms, and its patented
silica measurement cell minimizes the thermal effects that plague some
preform characterizations.
Features and Benefits
Patented Silica Measurement Cell
- Provides an integral index of refraction reference for each
measurement
- Minimizes oil volume to ensure rapid thermal equilibrium and maximum
calibration accuracy
- A range of cell sizes accommodates preform diameters from 5 to 80 mm
Unique Optical Design
- Improves the measurement of many preforms with fine structure
Dynamic Aperture Option
- Provides more accurate measurement of complex VAD preforms
Calibration Traceable to the National Physical Laboratory (UK)
- Assures refractive index measurement accuracy
Mechanical Design Features Optimized for Production test
- Small footprint makes the P104 the ideal benchtop preform analyzer
- Removable measurement cell takes the preform loading operation
offline, minimizing test cycle time
