The FOA Reference For Fiber Optics
The alumina film cannot grind down the connector ferrule like the diamond film so the end face is not as evenly polished, OK for multimode but not for singlemode. Air polishing is just polishing in the air.
Tutorial Passive Fiber Optics, Part 5: Fiber Ends
In most cases when a fiber is used, it is essential to prepare clean endfaces. A first step is usually to strip the polymer coating on the last centimeters, using a fiber stripper. In problematic cases, one
