Piezo Fiber Stretcher: Precise & Rapid Adjustment of Fiber Length & Diameter!
In modern science and technology, optical fiber stretching technology, as a key link in the manufacturing and application of optical fibers, its precision and efficiency directly affect the performance and application scope of optical fibers. From communication base stations to space exploration, from medical imaging to quantum computing, optical fibers serve as the nerve vessels for signal transmission, and their performance directly determines the stability and accuracy of the signals. With the continuous increase in the demands for optical fiber communication, optical fiber sensing and special optical fiber applications, the requirements for the precision and speed control of optical fiber stretching are becoming increasingly strict. CoreMorrow fiber optic stretching piezo actuator, with its high precision, rapid response and nanometer-level positioning capability, has become a key tool for fiber optic stretching and is often used in devices such as lasers.

Optical Fiber Stretching: A Crucial Step in Laying the Track for Optical Signals
The core purpose of optical fiber stretching is to precisely control the length and tension of the optical fiber, accurately adjust the diameter and core diameter of the optical fiber, and affect its optical performance and mechanical strength, ultimately achieving zero error in signal transmission. If optical fibers are compared to tracks for transmitting optical signals, the process of stretching optical fibers is like calibrating the flatness of each section when laying the track. Even a deviation of the micrometer level may distort the high-speed transmitted optical signals.

Specifically, the Effect of Optical Fiber Stretching can be Reflected in the Following Aspects:
1.Wavelength calibration: In fiber lasers and optical sensors, by fine-tuning the length of the fiber, the target wavelength can be precisely matched to ensure that the signal does not lose frequency.
2.Dynamic compensation: In extreme environments (such as aerospace and deep sea), real-time stretching is used to counteract the length changes caused by temperature and vibration, ensuring signal stability.
3.Phase adjustment: Adjust the phase, delay, etc. of the optical signal.
Fiber optic stretching technology is widely applied in multiple high-tech fields, ranging from the core components of 5G communication base stations, to the precise optical paths of lidar, and even to the key transmission systems of quantum communication. Fiber optic stretching technology has long permeated every aspect of modern technology. For instance, in the field of sensing, fiber optic stretching piezo actuators are integrated into highly sensitive fiber optic sensors for measuring physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, and strain.
