		+	== Connectorizing optical fiber ==
		+	'''Remember to practice safety when breaking fiber and handling broken ends: wear safety glasses and tape up ends'''
		+
		+	The following list discusses the highlights of connectorizing fiber. Consult Thorlab's [[Media:FN96A-Manual.pdf\| Fiber Polishing and Connectorization Manual]] for a more complete description.
		+	<ul>
		+	<li> Strip coating from fiber, leaving 2-3 inches of bare fiber </li>
		+	<li> Prepare epoxy (EpoTek 353ND, mixing ratio 10:1 A:B by weight) </li>
		+	<li> Inject epoxy into connector </li>
		+	<li> Insert bare fiber through ferrule and cure epoxy (20 min @ 120 C, or level 6 on our oven) </li>
		+	<li> Use diamond tipped blade to score and cleave fiber just above epoxy bead </li>
		+	<li> Hand polish tip until fiber is flush with epoxy </li>
		+	<li> Polish using abrasion sheets and polishing puck: 30um (green), 6um (yellow), 3um (red), 1um (white) </li>
		+	</ul>
