The CleaveMeterLDF is a non-contact (Michelson) interferometer used to examine all types of large diameter fibers with a cladding diameter of 250-1200µm. The optical system consists of a CCD camera with two user-selectable magnifications. Connected to the USB-port of an external PC, parameters and settings are programmed from the PC.

A small bench-top design, the CleaveMeterLDF is designed to be compatible with all NYFORS' automatic large diameter fiber (LDF) cleavers such as the AutoCleaverLDF and the CleaveMasterLDF. The CleaveMeterLDF accepts the fiber holders used by the NYFORS cleavers without mechanical adjustments. For other types of holders, customized adapters must be provided.
