Fiber Performance Comparison: | |||
Parameters | Our Products | Products on the market | Note |
Cone angle error | ±2.5° | ±5° | Cone angle error mainly refers to the cone angle of the microlens fiber. |
Single-mode: The higher the precision, the smaller the curvature tolerance and the higher the consistency. Multi-mode fiber: The higher the precision, the better the coupling efficiency consistency. | |||
Angle error | ±2.5° | ±5° | Angle error mainly refers to the angle of the wedge-shaped or other inclined lens fiber. The higher the accuracy, the higher the yield of the processed curvature. For multimode optical fiber, the higher the taper accuracy, the better the coupling efficiency consistency. |
Curvature error | ±1μm | ±1μm | The higher the curvature accuracy, the higher the coupling efficiency. |
Eccentricity | ±1μm | ±1.5μm | The smaller the eccentricity, the smaller the angle between the optical axis of the lens fiber and the axis of the fiber cladding, which is more conducive to coupling debugging and improves production efficiency. |
