Waveguide inside cylinder
• 2piR=1256mm
• 1256/1.05 = ~1200 fibers
on circle
• ~650 channels/station
• 650*5/1200 = 2.7 layers
= 2.8 mm thick
• Radius at the extraction
should be > 50 mm
R>50mm

Quality Assurance
• Previous productions have a few % bad channel
• Careful QA will be performed in the next production
• Cut clear fibers into pieces of 410cm (or shorter for inner
waveguides) by a hot-knife
• Check the fibers by eyes
– Crack / Kink
– Bump with strange diameter
• Cramp fiber bundle with plastic piece at the both ends,
Glue them, and Polish by diamond cutter
• Check strange light transmission in the fiber bundle
• Then, cut off the glued ends, and connectorize them into
connectors
Status
• Design of Outer waveguide is fixed
– 4m-long 128-way to 128-way
• Length of inner waveguide will be fixed
– 120cm-long 128-way to 4x22way + 2x20way
• Clear fibers has been placed order, will be
delivered on Feb.24th
• 3 of existing 126-way waveguides will be
modified for the 4th station in this month
• 1 brand-new 128-way waveguide in the end of
Feb.
• Inner waveguides will be produced in March.
