Machining Subminiature Features on Fibre Optics: The Dicing Process

The video tutorial demonstrates the process of machining 200 Micron wide grooves in flat optical fiber using a dicing machine. It covers sample preparation with UV-sensitive adhesive tape, setting up and adjusting the dicing machine, programming parameters, and aligning the workpiece. The machining process is executed with precision, and the final product is inspected using an optical microscope.

What adjustments are necessary when changing the blade diameter on the dicing machine?

How does the machine ensure the work piece is held down during the cutting process?

What is the final step in the machining process before inspecting the grooves?
