Koncentrik-V2
Ferrule Concentricity and Connector Tuning
.
The new KONCENTRIK-V2 is a modular measurement system.
Several mechanical modules adapt on it so that either fiber or ferrule
eccentricity measurements can be performed.
The Ferrule end-face geometry characteristics are key
factors to the quality of patch-cords interconnections. While
interferometry measurement tools can measure some of these
characteristics (Radius of polishing, Apex-offset, Fiber height),
they cannot measure the eccentricity of the fiber core with respect to
the ferrule outer envelope. Fiber-core eccentricity can have various
origins such as fiber cladding to core eccentricity, ferrule envelope to
bore eccentricity and unmatched fiber diameter to ferrule bore diameter. The result of eccentricity is a loss in optical power at
interconnections and therefore a loss in performances.
With this module, KONCENTRIK-V2 measures the eccentricity
of the fiber core with respect to the ferrule outer envelope of a
connector with a 0.15µm precision. It also measures the position of the
core with respect to the connector key with a few degrees of precision.
Applications Production of Reference and Master patchcords. Tuning of
connectors so as to reduce the random mating insertion loss of fibre
optic assemblies.

Koncentrik-V2 Ferrule Concentricity and
Connector Tuning
With this module, KONCENTRIK-V2 measures the eccentricity of the ferrule
bore with respect to the ferrule outer envelope with less than 0.15µm
uncertainty. Other measured values are the angular position of the bore
with respect to the connector key (tuning applications), the bore
diameter and non-circularity errors of both the ferrule outer envelope
and the ferrule bore.
