Large Diameter Fiber Fusion Splicing
The rapid development of photonic technologies has created the need for sophisticated optical products well outside the“telecom standards”. Requirements for these photonic components are both increasingly diverse and technically challenging; often they cannot be realized due to the limitations in the glass processing and/or fiber splicing technology. 3SAE Technologies developed and introduced the first of its kind, the LDS 2.5, glass processing system. Whether the application is splicing of fiber end caps, tapering, high power fiber laser component fabrication (such as mode eld adapters, pump combiners and pump/signal combiners), the LDS 2.5 provides capabilities that overcome the hurdles of current fiber component fabrication processes to meet the most demanding requirements. Designed for reproducibility, precision, and user-friendly operation, the LDS 2.5 provides the user a manufacturing approach to optical component product development.
