enough pressure to ”score” the fiber. See Figure12 .
C. With the thumb and index finger of each hand holding the fiber at a spot
approximately 8-10mm on either side of the cleave mark, break fiber against
cleave. See Figure 13.
D. To check the quality of the cleave, after you have cleaved the fiber, point it
perpendicular to a white paper and set the laser in READY mode. Hold the tip
approximately 10mm from the paper. You should see a near perfect circle of red
light. If you have a large comet effect radiating from the circle, you have to cleave
again.
