utilizing clean and contamination free CO2 laser heating. The SMARTSPLICER is a versatile product platform designed for the manufacturing of high power and sensitive photonics components.

18 15 GLASS PROCESSING AND TAPERING/END CAP SPLICING

SMARTSPLICER™ The SMARTSPLICER is an advanced laser fusion splicing and glass processing system designed for the production of high power and sensitive photonics components of various kinds. These include splicing of single and multimode fbers as well as gradient index and photonic crystal fber, fber to end-cap splicing, tapering and the manufacturing of high power fber laser components such as mode feld adapters and pump combiners. It features a powerful and clean laser heat source which enables completely contamination free glass shaping with low maintenance require- ments and no need for consumables such as process gas, flaments or electrodes.

Precision beam shaping optics – based on patent pending Axicon SplicingTM technology – converts the laser beam into an annular shape that spans the geometry of the fber or optical component GLASS PROCESSING AND under processing. This way optical power is dis- tributed symmetrically and evenly to the defned TAPERING/END CAP SPLICING processing area. The system can be operated in either horizontal or vertical orientation. In vertical orientation the force of gravity facilitates processes such as tapering and lensing. Intelligent tool hold- ers allows the machine to be customised for user specifc applications.
