Interferometeric Surface Inspection (ISI) is a general purpose analytical software using various algorithms such as phase shift narrow band or white light methods. ISI provides 3D surface reconstruction of fiber optic connector end face and measures various parameters such as radius of curvature of polish, fiber heights, polish off set, etc. In addition ISI stores test results in database and organizes them with identifiers that represent several configurable variables, such as job name, operator, customer, description, etc.

Reports are generated for a test group (job) or for single test, including all or partial measurement results. 3D scratch detection is provided according to various zones and user defined criteria. The ISI software is flexible as scan parameters and view layouts are provided by configuration files.
Measurements of single fiber connectors display and characterize the polished connector end-face providing surface information, such as ferrule radius of curvature, apex offset of polish, apex offset angle, fiber protrusion/under-cut, etc. 3D scratch detection is provided according to various zones and user defined criteria.

Measurements of multifiber connectors display and characterize the polished connector end-face providing surface information, such as angle of the polish, fiber protrusion, planar height differential, flatness deviation, etc.
