Filament Fusion Splicer for Cladding Diameters up to1.25mm LFS4100
The Thorlabs LFS4100 Vytran fiber splicer combines filament-fusion technology with flexible user programming and simple operation for standard, large-diameter and specialty fibers. It is suited to volume production requiring precision and consistent performance. The splicer produces high-quality joints in fibers with cladding diameters fromØ125µm toØ1.25mm. The system comprises a filament heater, a high-resolution CCD microscope imaging system, precision multiaxis stages and a desktop computer. The heater offers a broad adjustable temperature range up to3000°C for splicing and processing different fiber types and sizes. For alignment, magnified images are displayed with submicrometer resolution, including side and end-face views. XY and rotation stages use these images for automatic optimum positioning and high-quality, low-loss splices. Fiber rotation also aligns PM, eccentric-core and noncircular fibers.

Electro-optic deflectors (EODs) are optical devices used to steer or deflect light beams by applying an electric field to a specialized optical crystal. Unlike mechanical beam steering systems that rely on moving mirrors, electro-optic deflectors enable high-speed, non-mechanical beam control with exceptional precision and responsiveness. They are widely used in laser scanning, optical communications, microscopy, laser printing, spectroscopy, and scientific research, where rapid and accurate laser beam positioning is essential.
