Kinematic Adapters

• Unique, patented kinematic connector adapters add a distinctive level of versatility to the FiBO interferometer.
  
• Each adapter features steel spheres, carbide rods and strong magnets to position the adapter securely in place within a fraction of a micron.
  
• All kinematic adapters are precisely aligned at our facility, which eliminates time consuming alignment by the user and ensures accurate and highly repeatable measurements.
  
  

  Available sizes: - ST, FC, SC, LC, LSH, MU - PC, APC, and UPC polish - Bare Ferrule: 1.25mm, 1.6mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm - Custom adapters

Calibration Targets

Calibration targets set FiBO apart from the competition.

Each FiBO is shipped with three calibration targets that give the user the option to calibrate the FiBO system at any time.

FiBO is a stable system and calibration is not required very often, but may be necessary after transportation, dramatic environmental changes or 100,000 measurements. 

• 2D calibration target consists of a target pattern mounted in a kinematic holder. The pattern is created using precision electron beam lithography technique that has an inherent 3 sigma lateral accuracy better than ±0.15 microns.
  
  
• 3D calibration target consists of a precision made plano-convex lens mounted in a kinematic holder.
  
  
• APEX OFFSET calibration target is rotated three times on the FiBO and a measurement is taken at each position. FiBO Code software uses these measurements to calculate the average angular apex offset of a connector and the resulting value is then removed in subsequent apex offset measurements.
