1d Fiber Array (1dFA)

Multimode Fiber (Customizable)

Step Index

• LOW-OH MM (250-1200nm )
• HIGH-OH MM( 400-2500nm )

Graded Index

• upon request

Singlemode Fiber

• upon request

Polarization-Maintaining Fiber

• upon request

Core Diameter

• from 6um to 250um

Numerical Aperture (depends on fiber type)

• 0.1 - 0.5

End Polishing

1. Physical Contact (PC)
2. Angled Physical Contact (APC)

We have below technique for terminations of fiber arrays.

• V-Groove
• Fused or Glued
• Fan-Out Connectors

Typical Pitch Between Grooves:

• 127um / 250um

Typical Grooves Counts:

• 2 - 128 Grooves

Note:

A V-groove is a V-shaped groove that is used to align and position optical fibers on a substrate. A fiber array is a device that consists of multiple optical fibers arranged in a linear or two-dimensional pattern.

Spacing Between Fibers Cores:

• 5%-10% of the Fiber Core Size

e.g: fiber with 60um core will have a spacing around 63~66um

Fibers Counts:

• 10 - 512 fibers

Note:

Fused and Glued fiber offer higher flexibility than V-Grooves, the fiber array can be packed even more densely.

• FC Connectors
• LC Connectors
• MPO Connectors
• SMA Connectors
• Bare Fibers
