A non-contact technique called scanning white-light interferometry (SWLI) provides high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability for fiber connector testing, particularly for pass\/fail testing using IEC or Telcordia requirements. The system can be controlled locally through the touchscreen display or remotely through a browser-based application (see\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoftware\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etab for details), allowing it to be easily integrated on the production floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the system components are fully integrated in the enclosed housing. A wide-bandwidth 570 nm LED light source is used with a Michelson interferometric objective lens to measure the phase shift for step height changes as large as 35 µm. A piezoelectric stage moves the interferometric objective lens relative to the connector and collects the resultant interference patterns using a high-resolution camera. A 3D height map of the connector surface is created and then used to calculate the fiber geometry parameters with lateral resolution of 2.2 µm and height resolution of 1.1 nm (see\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etab for details). White-light interferometry is able to characterize undercut or protruded fibers that would be missed using a monochromatic interferometer (see\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eInterferograms\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003etab for details).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included GL16M4 MT-style fixture enables 8-second measurement of up to 72 fibers at a time in 12-fiber-row ferrules. The GL16 interferometer is capable of measuring a variety of additional fiber types and connector styles (shown in the table below) by swapping out the included fixture.
