Description

Use this document to detail specifications/requirements for an item and/or ancillary services. 🛈 TITLE: Fiber fusion splicer and cleaver for multi-core and hollow-core fibers 🛈 Requesting Lab/Division/Group: Physical Measurement Lab, Time and Frequency Division, Precision Photonic Synthesis General Statement of Need 🛈 We require a specialty fiber splicing kit including a fusion splicer and a cleaver. The fiber fusion splicer capable of specialty fiber splicing specifically multi-core and hollow-core fibers. The splicer must be capable of repeatable and low loss splices of multicore and hollow core fibers. We also require a fiber cleaver that can cleave large core diameter fibers and hollow-core fibers at low angles and without damaging the delicate structure of the hollow-core fiber. Items and/or Ancillary Services 🛈 Item 1: Fiber fusion splicer and cleaver for specialty fibers Quantity: 1 Specifications: One specialty fiber fusion splicer with end view and capable of splicing hollow-core and multi-core fibers. Compact and portable machine without the need for a vacuum pump or gas for operation. Must generate high-resolution end view of both fibers simultaneously Must have fiber image magnification capability (both side view and end view magnification) Capability to control arc power and duration Support fibers with cladding diameter 80 to 800 μm (splicing) Rotational alignment resolution: 0.1° Must have color display screen on the machine Must have internal memory for saving splice programs and ability to store splice data Polarization maintaining fiber splice capability with 40 dB extinction ratio for PANDA fiber Include fiber holders for fiber coating diameters of 250,300,550 and 900 μm Include splicing and heating programs for multi-core and hollow-core fibers Include a hard carrying case and vibration pad Separately Priced Options and Services: Item 2: [List minimum specifications. Quantity: 1 Specifications: Cleaver capable of cleaving hollowcore fibers without collapsing the internal structure of the fiber Cleaver for large diameter fibers Supported Fiber Cladding 125 μm to 550 μm Supported Fiber Coating 250 μm to 900 μm Low cleave angle < 0.5° for 400 μm cladding External power and built in rechargeable battery Click or tap here to enter text.
