What is a Fiber Optic Microscope?
A fiber optic microscope is a tool used to inspect fiber optic connector end faces for dirt, depressions, scratches, etc. It is indispensable in engineering construction, maintenance, and laboratory research.
Features and Benefits
A fiber optic microscope provides the following features and benefits:
1. UPC or APC end-face inspection
2. Built-in infrared attenuation filter for safety and reliability
3. On/off switch control
4. Precise focal length adjustment
5. Suitable for various fiber optic connector end faces inspection

Types of Fiber Optic Microscopes
1)Handheld Fiber Optic Microscope
Handheld fiber optic microscope uses a white light LED for coaxial and oblique axis illumination to quickly inspect various types of fiber optic connector end faces for depressions, scratches, dirt, etc. It is convenient to carry for the small size and especially suitable for outdoor work.

2)Bench-Top Conventional Fiber Optic Microscope
Bench-top conventional fiber optic microscope can accurately detect many types of fiber optic connectors' end faces. It has a computer USB connection and is easy to operate.
Applications
A fiber optic microscope is used in fiber optic patchcord manufacturing for fiber optic connector end-face inspection.
Conclusion
A fiber optic microscope has a compact design, easy to operate, and saves working space. It is used for inspecting the connector ferrule to check if the surface contains contamination or is damaged.

400G ZR Coherent Pluggable Optics: Enable 400G for Next-Generation Data Center Interconnect (DCI) and Metro Network Solutions

图片
400G ZR coherent pluggable optics plays a vital role in enabling the next-generation data center to interconnect (DCI) and metro network solutions to meet the bandwidth requirements of today and tomorrow. It reduces the cost and complexity of high-bandwidth data center interconnects and promotes interoperability among optical module manufacturers and providers. This article provides some knowledge about 400G ZR. What is 400G ZR? 400G ZR or 400ZR is an interoperable standard that enables the transmission of multiple 400GE payloads over Data Center Interconnect (DCI) links up to 80/120km using dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and higher-order modulation(16 QAM). It aims to secure an affordable and long-term implementation based on single-carrier 400G using dual-polarization 16 QAM (16-state quadrature amplitude modulation) at approximately 60 gigabaud (Gbaud). How Does 400G ZR Work? 400G ZR is an interoperable networking Implementation Agreement (IA) released by the Op
