Laser Cleaving - A global solution to address the challenges faced in the production processing of optical fibers

Laser cleaving uses precision laser technology to accurately and precisely terminate optical fibers, with flat or angled facets on a broad range of fiber types and waveguides. We work closely with OpTek Systems, which offers customers the ability to develop custom advanced sensors for critical environments at micron precision and scalable production speeds. The Laser cleaving technology's flexibility means that the end face's geometry can be adjusted to suit the application. Laser cleaving delivers superior optical quality compared to mechanical termination. It can be applied to free fibers, fiber ribbons and arrays, optical connectors, and even in-situ packaged fibers and waveguides.

  • Provides highly accurate control of the end face angle from 0 to greater than 45 degrees.
  • It can be precisely positioned concerning other features on the fiber, such as a connector body.
  • It can be used to strip polymer coatings, providing a complete optical fiber termination solution.
