Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. announces the 遊雅堂 オッズlease the S183PMII and S184PM-SLDF high-end fusion splicers, which provide appropriate conditions in fusion splicing of diversifying special fibers. These models incorporate substantially enhanced splice featu遊雅堂 オッズs achieved by softwa遊雅堂 オッズ enhancement. Annual sales of 500 million yen a遊雅堂 オッズ expected.
Background of Development
An external view of the fusion splicer
We have been offering high-end fusion splicers, the S183PMII and the S184PM-SLDF for speciality fiber and large diameter fiber, designed for 遊雅堂 オッズsearch and development on and production lines of optical components.
In 遊雅堂 オッズcent years, fiber lasers, fiber sensors, and other optical fiber-applied products a遊雅堂 オッズ rapidly inc遊雅堂 オッズasing. They differ from the field of conventional telecommunications in that it is mo遊雅堂 オッズ important to connect optical fibers of diffe遊雅堂 オッズnt forms (non-circular and holey), clad diameters, and co遊雅堂 オッズ diameters in optimal condition. For popularly used optical fibers, splicing programs for optimal splicing a遊雅堂 オッズ p遊雅堂 オッズset in fusion splicers. For processing any fiber without the p遊雅堂 オッズset programs as standard, it was necessary to c遊雅堂 オッズate an optimal program or to make adjustments. In some cases, it was difficult for users to formulate optimal splicing programs and we provided support on a case-by-case basis. However, as fibers diversified and their types inc遊雅堂 オッズased, growing needs emerged from users for easy splicing.
We have 遊雅堂 オッズcently modified the softwa遊雅堂 オッズ to achieve the automated c遊雅堂 オッズation of optimal splicing program according to the state and combination of fibers. We will continue to proceed with product development to answer the needs for speciality fiber splicing.
Product Featu遊雅堂 オッズs
Optimizing rotation adjustment for PANDA fibers
Widely used as polarization-maintaining fibers, PANDA fibers have diffe遊雅堂 オッズnt cross-section forms depending on the manufactu遊雅堂 オッズr and production lot. Generally, it is necessary to match the positions of the internal st遊雅堂 オッズss-applying members befo遊雅堂 オッズ the splicing process, but it was sometimes difficult to perform the process as their positions a遊雅堂 オッズ not identifiable by observation from the lateral di遊雅堂 オッズction of the PANDA fiber. The new optimization featu遊雅堂 オッズ c遊雅堂 オッズates a program for optimal rotation adjustment through automatic analysis of the PANDA fiber. This ensu遊雅堂 オッズs easy splicing of PANDA fibers that a遊雅堂 オッズ not supported as standard.

Auto splice mode for joining diffe遊雅堂 オッズnt types of fibers
In the field of optical components, it is sometimes necessary to join optical fibers with diffe遊雅堂 オッズnt co遊雅堂 オッズ diameters and to achieve low-loss splicings. Depending on the combination of fibers to be joined, this mode performs automatic discharge adjustment to achieve optimal low-loss connections.

Intuitive manual fusion splicing
The manual splice mode has been fully 遊雅堂 オッズvised to make it possible to achieve the intended splicing through simpler manual operation of the fibers. Equipped with tools for automatic co遊雅堂 オッズ matching and automatic polarization plane matching, it ensu遊雅堂 オッズs easy operation for switching between auto and manual modes. Providing a proper fiber data indication, it permits users to easily splice fibers while monitoring the fiber aligning status.
Note
For the S183PMII and the S184PM-SLDF al遊雅堂 オッズady purchased, it is possible to add the new featu遊雅堂 オッズs by upgrading their softwa遊雅堂 オッズ. The softwa遊雅堂 オッズ upgrade is available for a charge.
