Chromatic dispersion can be characterised with high accuracy from a single fibre end and testing polarisation mode dispersion from a single end is also possible.
In addition, the optional ACS 1000 automated control system adds PC control and the ability to program StepCure profiles within the Acticure.
User-changeable optical filters and over 20W/cm2 of curing power allow the Acticure 4000 to be tailored to specific applications.
"The Acticure has always provided customers with a curing solution that is simple to use, yet contains sophisticated features such as optical feedback to ensure repeatable cures", said Kevin Davis, Business Development Manager at EXFO.
"Now with over two thousand hours of lamp life and the optional StepCure feature, the Acticure 4000 provides even greater value to customers planning to automate high-precision bonding processes for optical component, semiconductor and medical applications".
The Acticure 4000 delivers power with control.
Output intensity can be adjusted from the user-friendly front panel and locked into place.
The unit then monitors and maintains this setting through an optical feedback loop process to ensure exposure quality and repeatability.
EXFO is the industry leader in light-based, adhesive spot-curing as well as curing process control for the manufacturing of fibre-optic and optoelectronic components.
Its products deliver precise doses of the appropriate spectral light onto photosensitive and heat-cured adhesives to significantly reduce bonding time and increase repeatability.
The company has six patents related to its light-based adhesive curing systems, including one involving "smart lamp" technology used in the Acticure.
