What is a GPX glass processor?

Thorlabs' Vytran ® GPX Series Glass Processors are ideal for shaping large-diameter fibers to fabricate tapers, ball lenses, couplers, combiners, and other advanced terminations. Glass processors using filament fusion furnaces are available with or without a built-in cleaver.

What is a GPX splicer mirror?

On the GPX series fiber processors and the LFS4100 splicer, which have smaller end-view mirrors, this insert provides a larger, 10 mm square mirror as an additional inspection option. Additionally, this mirror can be used outside the Vytran systems as a convenient inspection tool on an optical bench or a microscope.

What is solar glass?

Solar glass is a type of glass that is specially designed to harness solar energy and convert it into electricity. It is made by incorporating photovoltaic cells into the glass, allowing it to generate power from sunlight. This innovative technology has gained popularity in recent years as a sustainable and efficient way to produce clean energy.

What is a gpx3400 glass processor?

These systems are ideal for splicing applications involving polarization-maintaining fibers, photonic crystal fibers, and other specialty fibers with microstructured cores. The GPX3400 glass processor is compatible with fibers up to Ø1.25 mm cladding while the higher power GPX3600 can process fibers up to Ø1.7 mm cladding.
