Zusammenfassung:This study proposes a bare fiber polishing control strategy and force sensing mechanism to improve the performance of fiber polishing in optical communication. By analyzing the force and problems encountered during polishing, this study successfully measured the force with the required precision. Finally, the experimental results demonstrate a yield improvement from 20% to 80%, for a fiber tip offset within 1.5 μm.
