Cleaning V groove
V-groove is a V slot on the ceramic substrate of narrow width, easily to accumulate dust which will
make the fiber move instability and cause a bad fusion, therefore, the V groove should be cleaned
regularly.
The following is the way of cleaning the V groove:
1. Place the fiber with good enface into the V groove to remove the pollution, shown in figure 5.1.
2. Use a cotton swab soaked with alcohol to clean the surface and bottom of the V groove. At last,
the alcohol should be the natural air-dry or wiped dry by the dry cotton swab. Shown in figure 5.2.
