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.
