Systematic Reconditioning of Fiber Connector Polishing Process by Reducing Statistical Variance of Connector Characteristics

Abstract:

Optical connectors with high quality end-face polishes are crucial in future optical access network, where they must meet standard. Common polishing conditions may not always yield best results in any equipment setup due to high statistical variance in the polished connector characteristics. In this paper we propose a systematic approach to recondition the polishing process where we reduce the variance of the fiber height, radius of curvature and apex offset. The approach is enabled by our pneumatic system modification and improved controller design.
