In short One station, three checks: fiber transmission, the offset between the optical and mechanical centre of the ferrule, and the cleanliness of the end face. Offset costs light. In single-mode fiber the loss grows with the square of the core offset: about 0.2 dB for a 1 µm combined offset, and it adds up […]

In short What it is. A pulsed flash lamp produces short bursts of very intense, broadband light, packing high energy into a brief pulse. Where it is used. Photography, stroboscopes, high-speed imaging, industrial inspection, spectroscopy, laser pumping, IPL medical and cosmetic devices, fluorescence microscopy, research and stage effects. Design follows the job. Flash energy, pulse […]
