Thorlabs' Vytranยฎ FWS100 Fiber Window Stripper is designed for stripping polyimide-coated optical fiber. Polyimide coatings have high temperature and chemical resistance and are therefore difficult to remove without leaving a residue or damaging the fiber. Unlike the typical chemical stripping method, which uses hot sulfuric acid, this window stripper provides a clean and safe solution for stripping polyimide-coated fiber by using a mechanical blade (replacements sold below) and repeated stripping passes to gently remove the coating. Rotation barrels on either end of the stripper are used to hold an optical fiber under tension. The FWS100 stripper can strip a 1 mm to 50 mm long window region and accepts fiber with cladding diameters from 80 ยตm to 400 ยตm and coating diameters of 100 ยตm to 250 ยตm, 400 ยตm, or 500 ยตm. After stripping, we recommend using an ultrasonic cleaner that is compatible with window-stripped fiber to clean.
