Fiber Array Interferometer Mars-FA
The Mars-FA fiber array end-face interferometer is a non-contact, auto-focusing, and auto-calibrating intelligent interferometer independently developed and produced by HOMK TELECOM.
This equipment is mainly targeted at the Fiber Array FA series products and is used to detect the three-dimensional shape of the fiber array end-plane, and calculate parameters such as the curvature radius and angle in the X and Y directions, as well as the height of each fiber and the height difference between fibers. In addition, this device is compatible with all the functions of the Mars-AT interferometer. Users can test all samples of single-core fibers by matching the corresponding fixtures and software, which greatly improves the efficiency of the equipment.

Compatible with various FA samples and single-core connectors
The equipment is equipped with a 16mm-long horizontal scanning mechanism, which can be used to test almost all FA sample lines available on the market. In addition, the software enables automatic horizontal translation, allowing for the acquisition of data from all optical fibers in a single measurement. Moreover, it is compatible with SC and LC single-core connectors, and can almost replace all the testing functions of Mars-AT. It can also be configured with corresponding fixtures and software.
2. Extremely fast testing efficiency
When this device is used to test the FA-12 core sample, the fastest single test can reach 1 second. When testing a single core sample, the fastest time can be 0.3 seconds per test. After the test is completed, it can automatically generate high-definition three-dimensional stereoscopic images, two-dimensional color images and curve fitting graphs. Users can visually observe the surface morphology of the connector.
3. Real-time switching of end-face interference
This device adopts a unique optical path design, enabling automatic switching between interference measurement mode and end face detection mode. It allows users to complete two tests in a single detection, significantly saving time and improving the detection efficiency.
4. Improved data report storage
During the testing process, the equipment can automatically store the test data and reports, making it convenient for users to archive and manage them.
