Vytran LFS Series Filament Fusion Splicers
Brand: ThorLabs | Category: Scientific & Laboratory Equipment
Filament fusion splicers for standard, large diameter, specialty and soft glass fibre, using a resistive filament rather than an arc. True Core Imaging aligns the fibres and the wide thermal range also allows thermally expanded core mode field adapters to be made.
Plan your specification
Name the fibre pair and the required LFS configuration
The LFS4100 and LFS4200 serve different fibre applications. Ask for the exact model and accessory set after the manufacturer has reviewed your fibre materials and geometry.
- Glass material and alignment
- Provide both fibre datasheets, including glass composition, geometry and any polarisation-axis requirement. Thorlabs identifies LFS4200 for soft-glass work; confirm suitability for the actual pair.
- Complete operating arrangement
- Specify the proposed filament, holders and viewing arrangement. Request the required inert-gas, electrical and workspace details for the offered system.
- Representative sample evidence
- Agree the sample joints, optical and mechanical evaluation, recipe records and user familiarisation required. Separate standard equipment from application-development work.
