    1. Laser Cleaving of Optical Connectors Didi Hachnochi VP Engineering & R&D Duane Dinkel President Sagitta Incorporated 655-H Fairview Road Simpsonville, SC 29680 About Sagitta Since 1997 Manufacturer of fiber optic and semi-conductor process equipmentAbout Sagitta Since 1997 Manufacturer of fiber optic and semi-conductor process equipment

    2. Introduction The Problems Mechanical cleaving – operator and tool-dependent quality (hand-scribe, sand-blasting, etc.) Epoxy Bead size – operator and process-dependent quality Polishing – sub-optimal initial conditions (overuse of consumables; costly) Connector/Fiber-specific challenges – MT, Large OD fiber, SMA’s, etc. Compromised First Pass Yield, Throughput, Quality, and Cost! The Solution Laser Cleaving (integrated denubbing and epoxy removal) Results Future Technologies Conclusion

    3. Connector Termination Process
