3.3. Fiber clamping Open the windproof cover and the two side ﬁber platens, then, put the prepared ﬁber into PICTURE 16 V-groove through the locating slot. Make sure that the ﬁber end face should be located between the V-groove edge and two electrodes. As Shown in Figure 3.5 FIGURE 3.5 Please operate carefully and donʼt let the ﬁber end face touch any other object. Then close the large platen to ﬁx optical ﬁber, which should be placed horizontally in the V-groove, without upturned phenomenon. If clamping failed, you can lift ﬁber carefully and repeat the operation above until the ﬁber clamping is qualiﬁed. Similarly, prepare and clamp the other optical ﬁber. Then, close the windproof and continue to observe the ampliﬁed ﬁber from the display. If the ﬁber end face is obviously uneven, tilt or damaged, you need to remove the ﬁber to cut again.
