Even with the most advanced fusion splicer, encountering high splice loss is a frustrating reality in the field. A "good" splice should typically register a loss of less than 0.05dB. When that number spikes, it usually points to one of five critical issues. Understanding these causes is the first st
Near-Infrared (NIR) and Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) laser beam profiling for measuring pointing direction, beam divergence, beam width, and other beam characteristicsA laser beam profile is produced to identify spatial characteristics that predict the propagation, quality, and utility of a laser beam
