This summer, I (Micah Warren) am constructing seven new bundles to replace old ones in the tagger microscope. The following pages provide documentation:

We are currently in full scale construction mode, working full time on building the fiber bundles.  If you want to see our previous construction goals you can access them below.

==2015 and Earlier==
 +
We are currently in production of 12 additional fiber bundles to replace bundles which are currently installed in the microscope. We found that our light guide fibers were not double clad, but were only single clad. In August and September of 2014, we received a new order of BCF-98 and BCF-20 which we verified as multi-clad using [[Cladding Images|EDX techniques]]. In addition to having a second cladding layer, we are also attempting to maintain the optical qualities best by minimizing strain on fibers by removing some of the fiber procedures.

===Ferrule Measurements===
    
In hopes of understanding the bulge in the spliced region of the fibers, the ferrules they are spliced in were photographed under a microscope and measured using a tracker program that allows for in-photo calibration and measurement.  The ferrules were placed as perpendicular to the table as possible in order to get the most flat, head on shot of the ferrules.  The error in the measurement of the angles was quite high.  Moving the compass only a little bit (in the tracker program) lead to very different degrees read.  Because of this I would estimate the angle to be off anywhere from +- 1-2 degrees.  I would say that the lengths measured have an error on the order of +- .05-.1 mm
