The ProView Theta interferometer revolutionizes fiber splicing by enhancing standard PM splicers with advanced end face topography and geometry matching capabilities.

The ProView Theta is specifically designed to minimize the cleave angle gap for large diameter fibers and effectively match and align complex end face structures prior to splicing.

As the fiber optic industry evolves toward increasingly complex fiber types and structures, demand for versatile splicing equipment has grown. Traditional fusion splicers often struggle to accommodate these advancements. The ProView Theta meets this challenge by functioning as a “third eye” for PM splicers. Connected to the fusion splicer through an external PC, the interferometer analyzes end face structures and geometries to produce a detailed digital template of each fiber. Operators can then digitally align these templates, after which the ProView Theta sends precise rotational commands to the splicer, ensuring optimal theta alignment for flawless splicing.

The ProView Theta is well-suited for aligning and splicing a variety of fiber types, including PM, PCF, air-clad, multi-core, and complex geometries such as hexagonal, octagonal, and D-shaped fibers. Additionally, the design encourages prompt operator involvement and supports semi-automated processes, resulting in a flexible, versatile, and future-proof solution.

The Proview Theta is available in two models: LD (125–800 μm) and XD (250–1200 μm) cladding diameters. The interferometer is compatible with all FITEL S185 PM-type splicers.
