How Do I Cut And Polish Glass And Plastic Fibers?

Edmund Optics Technical Support
Using an optical fiber cutting block or optical fiber hot knife, one can cut plastic jacketed and unjacketed fibers. A cutting block insures that the plastic fibers are cut perpendicularly, which minimizes loss due to scattering. A hot knife is simply a heated blade that yields clean terminations. It also polishes plastic fibers as it cuts them by using the heat to fuse the glass. Pressing the ends of plastic fibers perpendicularly against a hot plate can also provide effective polishing.
